Right as ninepence. It has septic tank for yank and bubble for laugh, Scooby do for clue but nothing for butchers or grief.
I have no idea what that means, but I laughed out loud anyway

Butchers hook = look
Grief & strife = wife.
But I think it's actually 'trouble & strife' = wife, thinking about it... or 'the old ball and chain!'
It's funny. You do still hear people using rhyming slang in London. I think it sort of goes in and out of fashion with new phrases added from time to time with modern cultural references.
'It's all gone a bit Pete Tong' = Wrong
Pete Tong was one of the best known house music dj's in the 80's / 90's. But for no other reason than his name ryhmes with 'wrong', he's probably much better known for the rhyme than his music... the British are a bit of a strange bunch Randy...
Love your book

Grief is that which one receives from ones trouble and streif, particularly at Christmas when the house is brimming with visitors and you obviously didn't buy quite the right present for her even though you were told not to spend anymore money on her.
And then there was the staying up too late with the kids on Christmas Eve.

Yep
Buy the perfect present but don't spend any money on it while also being psychic as you get zero clues as to what they actually want!
I panic bought the missus an Apple Watch this year. Stupid money, much more than we usually spend on each other, for something that gets so so reviews. She doesn't want it needless to say and has suggested swapping it for a food mixer thing. Now, if I'd of bought her the food mixer in the first place I'm a sexist pig most likely, but it's actually worked out quite well this way

Told HID before Christmas that I was thinking of getting a Car or a replacement Engagement Ring because she has lost two of the Rubies in her's.
I was told not to spend so much so I got her a £12 ring from M&S and some matching earings.
Turns out that I should have bought myself a Dormabile instead!

Fair do's to my wife though.
She bought me loads of togs that I probably won't wear more than the one obligitary showing on the next walk into town, but not into the shop where she bought them.
She also bought me '365 days in cycling" by Giles Belbin.
I said to her 'it's not signed, but never mind I'll take into work and get it signed as he only sits two desks away from me'.
I thought that was an amazing coincidence of book choice but it turns out that it was just a dig at my day in day out 24/7 365 days a year interest in cycling, ooch!

I did the Apple Watch thing last year.
Kept falling off of the charger at night so she stopped using it.
I have an android so it's squat use to me as well.
Toyed with the smart watch idea myself but would sooner waste the cash on a wrist HRM or some Street Coilovers for the Mini or better still some air ride shocks that are adjustable on the hoof.
Or a disc wheel for the Turbo Trainer.
In summary there are a myriad of useless things you can buy instead of a smart watch, perhaps they're not so smart after all and should be called 'dumb watches'.
Well, I managed a good Chaingang stage 3 time. I was about 10 seconds behind AAAC but in front of the other big shots when we hit the last bump. As predicted that last bump was going to give me trouble, and it did. I ended up 18 seconds behind Bridgy.
It going to be an interesting Chaingang finish.
I think DP and AAAC is pretty safe at 1st & 2nd.
3rd is probably going to Bridgy (if he doesn't run out of time), but I predict that 4th is going to be a close battle between me Bill and Andy. I may loose some time at the "hilly" 4th stage, but 5th looks like it's packing a lot of flat and downhill sections.
