== changed stories == 

 Charlton, you miss the point. The above comment about Ruth Ellis changing her story three times doesn’t even imply that these conversations were ever with Pierrepoint. 

 I also remember the hanging of Ruth Ellis and seem to have a firm memory of the changing stories. I don't think that the bleached hair in court made much difference. She'd been seen and admitted firing several shots into Blakely. As the law stood, an open and shut hanging offence.
