Oi, Cockneys - no!

[classic33]

To a cockerney that's how anyone from further afield than Richmond talks.

Richmond is in Yorkshire though.

I was thinking of the one-On-Thames.

A think tank is "influential"...?

In a perverse way they can be sometimes. For my industry, the think tank that opines on our sector seems to be made up entirely of people who have never worked in the industry, yet the press go running to them for "expert" opinion every time something happens. So the media at least are easily influenced / fooled by the title of think tank, even if the sector isn't.

No Cockney thread is complete wivaat a Chaz & Dave song.

If I'm on the tube I won't have a chat but I won't be rude.

I learnt my lesson on the Piccadilly Line. I was leaning against the padded rests at the end of the carriage, and a guy boarded relying on a cane. All the seated passengers worked hard to avoid eye contact and thus be forced to give up their seats. So I of course gave him my cushion and exchanged brief pleasantries about what peanuts everyone else was being. Because we were both basically standing at that point and I was less than a metre from him, he decided to reward my kindness by attempting to introduce me to Jesus, his lord and saviour. For 20 minutes!!

Never make eye contact on the tube.

Still and all, I rather like Londoners. Such a cheerful bunch.

Didn't all the Cockneys move out and are now living happily ever after in the home counties?

Essex

I presume some of you southerners have seen this?

You mean the one in Surrey?

 

[Drago]

Aye, the Slurry one.

Gorden Bennett, what do that think tank know, they need a kick up the Myleene. Of course Londoners are friendly. If I met a norvener I’d take em down the rub a dub and buy em a gold watch.

 

[Drago]

Can anyone translate that?
