so this is a southern thing is it?

[GRNINJA]

Heavy that is cockney slang..... to be a cockney you have to be born within the ring(chime) of the bow bells ( located in Bow in East London)

but a lot of people think the whole of the south talk like that we don't.. I am from east London originally I used to sound a bit apple n pears, china mug blah blah blah
But no one in there right mind unless they are old school cockneys or just simple still talks the full on slang anymore....

I wouldn't bother best thing you can do is if you don't understand what someone is saying it probably isn't worth listening to just nod and smile

whew...there's a load off me mind...i guess it's like here....we do not all live in igloos...and you all don't speak cockney...if i find myself in that area...do i walk thru or like in belfast..run thru?

[GRNINJA]

erm I seen a pic of you....you'll be fine .. watch out for the kids they pop a cap in ya ass for looking at them the wrong way but otherwise you'll be alright..

But believe me there should be no reason for you to go to Bow its a dive ( dive = shit hole )

If you stuck for a guide down south then feel free to hit me up...

If you start trying to talk in cockey slang, you'll stand out a million miles !!!! Probably sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins !!!

As noted, it only applies to about 10 suare miles of the whole country anyway !

You'll have a hard enough time understanding the different accents around the country...................there are loads !

To become Anglosized, pratice this useful say : " Oh yes please, thank you very much! "   " I am looking for the Benefit Office".  " I would like apply for my free house and television set. "  "  Where can I get my Disability Benefit " ?  .... I won't money paid into my Secret Off-Shore Account.  " Where can get my fake Passports and Driving Licence "  . . . .

Couldn't have put it better myself. Wish the spanners in power would wake up and smell the coffee and stop being so politically correct and afraid of upsetting everyone and just run this country properly..

Sorry rant over...
