You're a "p" short Steve, definitely p-p-p-pick up a penguin (despite the inaccurate title below, you've been fooled :shaking fist:). rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 The most confusing for foreigners is Cockney rhyming slang. The problem is, it is truncated in real life. ie. the rhyming slang for a wigs is 'syrup of figs', but you never hear any one say that. They just say 'syrup'. Which doesn't make any sense to anyone but a Cockney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed that, sure it wasn't racist or it'd have been flagged by someone and action would've been taken (corporal punishment administered by Matt for a first offence, he volunteered because he enjoys it most ).

Palfy Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Remember back in the eighties working in Maidstone, there was this east end sparky and every time he approached someone he would start the conversation off in his cockney accent with "alright John what's the story" annoying after a while especially when a lot of lads adopted it as the job catchphrase.
