cockney slang,cash withdrawal machine!

I've seen it all now.

A cash machine on Commercial Street, close to Spitalfields Market in east London, offers customers the option of withdrawing their money guided by Cockney rhyming slang. The rhyming slang prompts, which are available from five ATMs in east London, will ask users to enter their Huckleberry Finn, rather than their Pin, and ask how much sausage and mash, or cash, they want.

 

Sounds like a right load of Watford Gap to me...obviously dreamed up by some Ravi in the banks' marketing dept......

 

you gotta laugh martin.....

 

What would be even worse, is IF those ATM Machines were placed here in the USA. Heck, we wouldn't have an idea what the hell those machines were referring to? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Ray, MArtin and you other Gents, here's one for you. We take those machines with the Cockney accents and you take ours in exchange with Redneck slang used :lol: :lol: That ought to get some minor laughs as well as many looks of absolute amazement-at how we Colonials have twisted and turned the Kings language over the years ;-))

Do I hear Jeff Foxworthy calling? :lol: :lol:

Heh heh, I can only imaging what the ATM w/ the Cockney accent would say to a person who is overdrawn: "Aw, that's too bad Mate-no money in your account, try again some other time-or QUIT spending and you will have money for later uses". :lol:

 

Hey, I wonder if they've thought of a Scots version !?

Hoots Mon - an' gang awa' wi' ye baubies !

( Or, if its an RBS ATM, Sir Fred Goodwin can gang awa' wi' millions of baubies..... )

 

that's probably the polite reply too carl..

 

He's probably patented that!
The Glasgow version would be "Gonny no take yir money out?"
You know how you get money back on certain empty lemonade bottles? Empty Barrs bottles are worth 30p when you take them to a shop........hence their nickname in Scotland............"Glass cheques". I kid you not!

 

Reading that reminds me of watching this.... Its all incomprehensable!

well! here you are martin,your voice may be heard..

The young people laughed when the ATM asked them if they required “some moolah for ya sky rocket”. The machine, in Spitalfields, was one of five Cockney cash dispensers from East London to Barnet that began dispensing “moolah” yesterday morning.

Bank Machine, which runs 2,500 ATMs across the country, was aiming to amuse, but it has grander ambitions too. It hopes to follow the Cockney cash machines with Brummie, Geordie, Scouse and Scots ATMs. It hopes that ATMs will serve to keep these dialects alive in Britain

 

Hi Ray, would we even understand what they were saying? I mean-do those with Cockney accents even speak English? ;-))

 

only on good days and holidays,my bruvver in law is an eastender,mile end road,and he does really! ha! ha! it's like learning another language carl,todays cockney slang has been extended by newer rhyming slang,not as clever,but easy to get the drift,apples n pears= stairs so it's not too hard to work out,ray..
