The Apple Boutique was a retail store located in a building on the corner of Baker Street and Paddington Street, Marylebone, London. It opened on 7 December 1967 and closed on 31 July 1968. The shop was one of the first business ventures by the Beatles' fledgling Apple Corps. The concept of the shop was that everything in it was for sale. The aim, as described by Paul McCartney, was to create "a beautiful place where beautiful people can buy beautiful things". In practice, the stock was overwhelmingly fashion garments and accessories. John Lennon vetoed the use of the word "boutique", but the venture has come to be popularly called the "Apple Boutique

@marthasheilds2446 That's right, it's nothing new really, in fact, even back in the 50s and 60s, people in London and other places were complaining about how things had changed and how there was less law and order on the streets. Policing actually underwent some major changes back then because crime was becoming epidemic, especially bank robberies and shop smash and grabs. These were done by highly organised gangs back then and the police were becoming overwhelmed. The gangs knew exactly who the local bobbies were, where they would be and at what time, so they struck when they weren't around. That was the real end of the 'Dixon of Dock Green' style policing era, it just wasn't effective anymore. The Kray Twin gang was just one of many in London and across the country. They had rivals that they were at war with, and people were killed as a result of their rivalry. The most famous and well-known gangster assassination back then was the killing of Jack the Hat McVitie. There was also another well known gang on gang killing in the Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel E London involving one of the Krays but there were plenty of others. There was also the well-known 'Great Train Robbery' gang, nasty people too but highly organised and smart. The problem is, that so many people forget about all of this that used to go on back then and they have this rose-tinted view of those "good old days". I'm afraid they were far from good, the streets weren't safe back then for innocent people because they could be and were caught up in the crossfire between rival gangsters. The only difference now is that the gangsters are less organised and much more spontaneous, with diminished levels of planning behind it all and they're mainly very young, impulsive, etc. Bank robberies etc are attempted now by desperate people on drugs, rather than organised gangs. Those days are over. Many thanks for your reply.

[@sandgrownun66]

@marthasheilds2446 More rubbish. You obviously haven't got a clue what you're talking about. However, you're probably not a victim of the new, imported crimes, that were unknown in Britain, only a few decades ago. Cultural relativism is a fabricated concept, and there's the saying, "birds of a feather, flock together", for a reason. Diversity is by definition, division, and out of division, comes strife and conflict.
