I remember as kids we used to skateboard down on Bournemouth sea front, next to the pier.
Every now and again Savilebeast would appear, offering sweets and money to some of the younger lads (I was 14ish at the time), but us older lads used to tell him to f
k off, we didn't like the old nonce, but I don't remember exactly how we knew he was a nonce, we just knew he was up to no good.
A local 'celebrity' Ken Bailey was also well known for touching up kids, dirty old bd took his secrets to the grave with him as well.

I have a major problem with Saville, very much in the mould of the person you were warned about as a child.
As and when Saville finally shuffles off.
Then after the inevitable tabloid fuelled 'a nation mourns' frenzy, with plenty of Anne Robinson-eques eulogies, and a 5 page thread on here of what a top bloke he was. Are we likely to get stories about the 'real' Jimmy Saville

I remember my mum not letting me watch Jim'll Fix It when I was a kid, I wonder if she knew what he was like as she used to work in media.

I thought I should check and came across this:StevelKinevil said:
He was pals with Peter Sutcliffe too.
Poor Frank Bruno:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2274703/Re...
Married by a suspected child molester too.
Poor sacrificial Priest given quite a few men reputedly visited that place?
How many of the men that also visited that are still alive and vulnerable to prosecution? Wouldn't not going after the others that visited that place in Barnes make all the hand wringing over Savile and what he got up to look like so much empty platitudes? Savile's dead we can't prosecute him. How many besides that Priest that officiated at Frank Bruno's wedding that visited that place in Barnes are being investigated?

Indeed. I have looked at my early-thread post where I labelled him as simply an eccentric. I was clearly totally wrong, but then I'd heard nothing of the rumours which seem to have been freely circulating.
I find the whole affair truly astonishing, and I still can't really grasp how for decade upon decade he was allowed, by those who knew about his proclivities, to behave in this way.
Dark, dark times indeed.

Woah there! You can't just leave it at that. Come on, 'fess up; what did you ask for?
For some reason, that is still a total mystery to me, I wanted to read the Australian Weather with Michael Barrymore. This meant standing on my head, which I couldn't do. So Barrymore held me by the ankles.Everyone needs a dream.

Savile, Barrymore- no wonder your parents kept you under constant watch!Everyone needs a dream.

Where kids were......so was Bailey.
My parents stopped me ice skating at the old rink in Westover Road as he starting turning up there on a Saturday morning when us kids were having our lessons etc. He would be leaning over the balcony watching us. Broke my heart stopping those lessons and free skating afterwards

Yes I just found my first post and it makes me cringe. What I said about meeting him and the fact me and a workmate had a very entertaining afternoon in his company now just sounds fI was clearly totally wrong, but then I'd heard nothing of the rumours which seem to have been freely circulating.

king wierd.I said in that post that I had heard the rumours. I had heard stuff, that he was a bit of a letch and a weirdo but I think that was it.
Having read the LGI report, or parts of it at least, it is terrifying to think I was in the company of such a man.
Talk about the "perfect" crime. And it's not as if he did it just the once, he commited crimes in open for decades while moving in varied social circles yet also being one of the most famous people in the country.
If the Savile story was a book, it would be laughed out of every publishers office in the land for being way too far fetched, even for a work of fiction.
The weirdest of weirdest things is that he got away with it, even down to his lying in state and funeral.
He bloody got away with it, abusing God knows how many and conning TV viewers radio listeners and every person he came into contact with and who he didn't assault.
This most prolific predictor was doing this in plain view while weaving himself into the fabric of British lives. He was everywhere. The other day I was watching the 1970s programme "sailor" and in one scene someone says as an aside something about JS visiting the ship. I was telling my wife about trains when I was a kid so put "the age of the train" into You Tube. Up popped this
in a 3 piece suit talking about using the train.I still don't get how he got away with it. How with so many victims no one pushed for prosecution. No lawyer wanting to make a name, no phone hacking journo with an editor looking for a sensation. If ever there was a justification for underhand press tactics it would have been perusing Savile. He didn't have security. He was easy to access. How is it that no-one who knew the truth had a pop, had him beaten up, or worse? Not all his victims were scared littoe girls. Many grew up one imagines to marry, tell husbands and the like who may have a pop. How much did he fork out to folks for them to keep shtum? It must have happened. He must have given accusers/victims compelling reasons to avoid revenge. "No one will belive you" is only a very light threat to someone who hates you. The guy was just a bloke, he did not posess magical powers......but he wore a cloak of invisibility somehow.
One last thing. Reading the LGI report. A lot of this happened at the time of the Ripper. Did he have some twisted part in that? I find it hard to belive a guy like him (as we now know him) would not have approved of and been interested in Sutcliffe's activities. I can not believe Savile was not bad enough not to kill. I could see that as being the ultimate power trip for him. An alliance with Sutcliffe would have been "perfect"
I know it's a conspiracy theory but the physical proximity of the two, his nocturnal wanderings round the places where Sutcliffe ran.......... Yes it's far fetched, but the whole Savilething is far fetched.
