I love rhyming slang, but I do sometimes get confused by it. Even so, you are right about the differences in our 'Englishes'. You should hear some of my South African slang...now that's another kettle of fish altogether :)Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-61461840865877478772010-11-21T00:57:33.401+00:002010-11-21T00:57:33.401+00:00What a lovely home!

He also misses the H off the beginning of words which has caused no end of confusion. When I first met him I looked up in a map of London for Oxton where he said he came from, nowhere to be found. It turns out he is from Hoxton!!! xFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-1628870886593053402010-11-20T04:53:47.335+00:002010-11-20T04:53:47.335+00:00It was an honour to share you with my readers.
