What you mean the original as you knew it not coming from London, can I ask what years you happened to be around all these genuine cockneys that made you the fount of all knowledge

I mostly heard it when I was young so they may have lied to me as they would not have wanted to have to explain what pox is, to be honest you hear a bit of it nowadays but nowhere near as much as you used to. But then again we seem to be losing everything to do with our identities. The kids/teenagers nowadays are more likely to be walking around with fake Jamaican/American Gangster accents.

From the early 60s and I would suggest that you go back to singing about Sarf London being wonderful like the other couple of thousand that follow, as you cant say support Palace, because very few do as is shown by their administration recently.

Is that you're idea of a retort

I suggest you go back to talking about transfer rumours as most of the things you have said in this thread have been wrong but yet you think everyone else is wrong. As I said earlier, ignorance is bliss. You must be one of the happiest blokes alive

Well, my Grandad who was Pearly King of Walford and ran the Queen Vic, where rhyming slang was the only official language allowed, he used to call them Sconns.

So I take it you would class yourself as a prescriptive rather than a descriptive linguist?
