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.

Enjoy !! – Mark.
