Slang!

[Asimina]

It's love where I come from .........

 

My grandfathers phrase when he saw something like a trapese act was

"they'll do owt but work"

 

So do people in your area call everyone love? Even someone they don't like? That could get awkward.

There's a pub called 'Our House' that's confusing, especially when drunk .....

Jim, neither I'm actually a Man of Kent, but my accent is London,

so much so that I confuse Londoners when they ask what part of "the smoke" I'm from, most of them put me south of the river, correct, but not far enough south, short by 75 miles

My grandfather was a true Cockney though, but I never met him as he died before I was born, Dad reckoned I'm his reincarnation as dads accent was Kent

[Brian S]

If you guys want a laugh have a watch

Cockney slang, with subtitles lol
