Interesting BTF - As is c0ckney and the latest street talk although it don't suit white kids imo but I am old school and out-of-date/touch. I'm also not a fan of text talk on a forum, there's really no need for it but I can understand its use on a text

From Smithfield folklore, supposed to have happened in the 60s, 2 porters 'Big Ian' and his witness the 'Stunted Ape' a small guy with as much body hair as a monkey.
in court on a charge of assault on a Greek

The defence brief makes the mistake of asking the 'Stunted Ape' (don't know his real name) to tell the court in his own words what happened................................

"Well it's like this....this Bubble was doing the nonsense on Big Ian."  stop! says the beak and he leans over the bench to hear from the clerk that a Bubble is slang for a Greek person, carry on!,  "Like I said, this Bubble was doing the nonsense on Big Ian he's turned around and gone pop,  and the Bubble had claret all down his mooey. STOP!! fined £90 and bound over to keep the for I year.

That story is supposed to have made the local rag but I never actually saw copy. or if compensation was awarded.

Because of the use of b/slang through most of the day, the Stunted Ape was instructed not to use any in court just normal English he thought he was using the Queen English in court...so the retelling of the story goes.

Hi JM,

Hi Slippy,

That's enough from me, don't want to hijack the fred.

foxy, boss, its great to see you back innit. at the end of the day you know what i mean brov.

its not just fake west indian i think there's abit of fake new york gangsta in the youth accent around these parts too.

i was born in chatham (the home of the chav ) and what coach was referring to earlier is estuary english. i think its the most awful accent there is and i speak it unfortunately, i hate the sound of my own voice.

ahhh, ok - young fellas at work couldn't tell me but appreciate your input on the subject jolly

..and Slippy, if you're talking about real big ones (which I assume you are) I can barely raise 30%

Cheers Jolly, It's all good, new meds great so I'm not as cranky on these now as I was on the old ones, Yes the 'Estuary' English was more confined to the south of london/Essex/Kent if my rubbish memory is correct.

Bubble n Squeak= Greek

Coach, Best I've been for a few years now, it's all good, Thanks for asking.

Sorry you're having a bad run hope your Tank doesn't get any more hits'.

At the mo you must be muttering 'if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no fecking luck at all' it changes now, I've just had a look at my chrystal balls,

Wouldn't even know what that looked like, have never tried any drugs, now whiskey, that's a different matter.

most london accents I hear these days seem to be largely eastern european

just saying

I have to say, for all I hate the accent, Kate Tempest is seriously talented.

She knows what time is it.
