Given a powerful enough amplifier fitted to the Bow bells, the entire next generation of humans could be born cockney.
As a corollary, it is impossible to have a congenitally deaf cockney.
(I've had this thought for ages. I would have thought that I'd posted it before but a quick search suggests otherwise. If I have, I apologise)

"A man was arrested for leaving greasy bum prints on shop windows.
The so-called Butt Bandit used lotion on his buttocks to make his mark at dozens of businesses since 2007.
Despite fears of copycat crimes, officers said it was "the act of a lone deviant".
The man, 35, was caught in Valentine, Nebraska.
County attorney Eric Scott said: "This isn't normal behaviour for Valentine."

Porpoises can be vicious bastards.
The man who rings that bell is now 80 years old.
He has been ringing it since he turned 20 years old on 29th March that year
He has been stone deaf since 30th March that year.

Big Ben and its chimes illustrate the difference between the speed of light and sound.
Stand by the base of the Elizabeth Tower and you’ll hear the bell’s chimes about one-sixth of a second after the bell is struck.
Those listening to a live transmission of the bell by radio, however, will hear the bells before you.
