Please, I am married to a real cockney and I have heard nothing but slang since the day I met him. even today if he is going to the bathroom it is always "just going for a jimmy riddle" (too much information ) and obviously the "apple and pears" when he has to go upstairs, Over many years with him I have even picked up the London slang buhhah and wahha for butter and water (and I have the strongest Shropshire accent !!)

Very funny ToT, but you use the word "obviously" loosely. I heard of a guy who stopped calling his bathroom the "John" and instead called it the "Jim". He thought it sounded better to say..."I just came from the Jim/gym"!
