UK: Anglophenia. Or ‘An Introduction To The UK’ !!

U Flag

If you are ever thinking of visiting the UK; here are a few things that people may need to become familiar with.  Siobhan does a really great overview of why we Brits are so ……….  Well; let her give you an insight and then you decide.

By the way, we are from the London area and so you could say we talk ‘two smoking barrels’ – but this is now very limited and very East End old London talk.  I personally love Cockney Rhyming Slang although this is a traditional ‘talk’ very much dying out in London town.

Here is an intro to Cockney Slang:

Oh, and if you come to London; this may be useful as well – http://www.phespirit.info/cockney/slang_to_english.htm

So; ‘get yer nuts up them apples cos I wanna get some Bo’.

Or, ‘would you mind getting your legs up the stairs because I really would like to get some sleep’ !

Enjoy !! – Mark.
