I am however sure, that in time our wounds will heal and we will both be able to move on from this bruising encounter. Failing that we could just go to the pub and get totally wan kad.... but not in the Copthorne...

Not if that is the standard of grammar accepted in those territories.

Mining and steel are industries of history, you should be grateful for peers in the UK are saved by the South East and all it's glorious, world dominating, economy saving brains. Produced where? South.

Capital of the South? Southampton. Hampton's are best, the Southern Hampton must therefore be incredible, therefore Southampton is literally centre of the universe.

Crikey. That Maccy D's must have gone to my head.

Is Hampton not one of the many terms for the male genitalia?

Quite. That's for those frightfully common 'Cockney' types and is never used by anyone else, unless they are trying to be 'hard' or appearing in a Guy Ritchie film.

But everyone uses it.

I'm always saying things like - who's Half Inched the hole punch? or I'm Skint or Barrasic

I am neither hard, common or in a Guy Ritchie film.

Interesting thought though, what other words do most people use to describe things that are actually rhyming slang words but have made it into general use?

I tend not to Cockerney-ise anything I say but when talking to one of our soft southern shandy drinking cousins I like to drop in the odd knees up mother brown or roll out the barrel just to make them feel comfortable and re-kindle the old blitz spirit. I find that usually works a treat and makes for a very spirited conversation
