The Serial Killer Beatle

I was in The Grapes pub in Mathew Street in Liverpool once with my mate Bernie. The Beatles used to drink in The Grapes in the early 60s when they played in The Cavern. There are photos of them drinking in The Grapes on the wall of the pub. Bernie stared at a photo and said to me 'That's The Beatles isn't?'

'Yes it is' I replied

'Well that's Lennon and that's McCartney. But who's that then?' asked Bernie.'That's Stu Sutcliffe. He was their bassist before Paul McCartney switched from guitar to bass.' I informed him.

'You what?!?! Stu Sutcliffe?' said Bernie. 'You mean the Yorkshire Ripper was a member of The Beatles! Am not havin' that!'
