Does anyone realise how annoying it is to work with someone who has never been nearer the East End than St Johns Wood, but thinks that this is a cool way to speak?

Go a mate who is well East End. He quite likes my Manc accent. But do know what you're saying about the dialect. And do you know why it's traffic 'jam'? Because we go round in jam jars (cars).

Well cool.

By the way, H2G2, It's "Luvvly jubbly", not "Luverly juverly".
Sorry to be pedantic about it. I just thought you might be from surrey, and therefore in need of correction.

I don't Adam n' Eve you about the traffic jam thing. It's called a traffic jam because the frog's all jammed up with motors, like a logjam.

Do me a lemon.

'Arris = backside. The tortured route it takes is - 'Arris = Aristotle, Aristotle = Bottle, Bottle & Glass = Arse. The truoble with Cockneys is they have too much time on their brass bands!
