What’s wrong with cockneys ?

If you have to ask...

[Pillowtalk]

I'd of thought real cockneys are an endangered species'....

True, they've moved to other places, but like Brits in Spain they make very little effort to integrate with local ways or learn the language, so there are cockney ghettos all over the Home Counties. Send 'em back I say!

They all think they are Del Boy , Viz magazine sums them up perfectly

Well at least it makes a change from the scouser bashing from some of the keyboard warriors.

Isn't a Cockney not just an East Ender but technically born within the sound of Bow Bells 

Given that the bells stopped ringing in 1926 then there surely haven't been any Cockney's born in almost a century

Feral youths - as mentioned elsewhere
Car sales adverts on TV - any number of them spring to mind
The Rail union
Oganised religion
Terrorists of all denominations
Drugs, drug smugglers, drug dealers, drug users
People traffickers
Fast food outlets - McDogshits, KFC, Bugger King etc
Mens soccer
Manufactured bands - Spice girls, Steps etc
DFS  - Winter, Spring, Autumn and Summer 'Sales'

Borrowing an idea from King Nuts, if OK ? 

What stuff would you "not miss", if it were to disappear, off the face of the planet tomorrow ?

Mine: 1- TV adverts. 2-  20% VAT (it's a rip off). 3- Traffic speed bumps (knackers small cars suspension, mines a small one).

Unnecessary commas and other quotation marks.

[Colston36]

I before E except after C !

There are quite a few exceptions - not that it matters.

Two things I find both irritating and incomprehensible: people who insist on putting apostrophes where not necessary (greengrocers excused: with them it comes with the job); blind buffoons who write discrete instead of discreet when the right spelling can be clearly seen on every bloody AdultWork profile

[timsussex]

there are so many exception - both ways eg Their science seizes veins in foreign species

I think someone calculated that it was true less than half the time although there is a longer more accurate formula

I suspect it may be about posh "school run mum's" who only got them to bully their way into the "best" parking spot to pick up little Tarquin or Hermione.it only really worked until they all had them of course!
Your mate provoked a reaction? Really? Can't think why! 
If you think that's bad, you should have heard my ex about Indian Drivers - outright racism, and she used to live there!

4x4 Old fashion name for four wheel drive. I guess they are called SUV's nowadays. ( posh name, same vehicle) What ever they are called they are a bloody menace on the roads especially driven by women

I think the Indian driving test consists of driving your car in a straight line for about 500 yards, if you don't veer off to one side you've passed

Do you fail if you don't pap the horn at least 15 times within the 500 yards?
