Would you Adam and Eve it? Over a hundred years after it was first heard on the streets of Ye Olde London Towne, Cockney rhyming slang is still going strong, and this book contains the most comprehensive and entertaining guide yet. Presented in an easy-to-read A to Z format, it explains the meaning of hundreds of terms, from old favourites such as apples and pears (stairs) and plates of meat (feet) to the more obscure band of hope (soap) and cuts and scratches (matches) through to modern classics such as Anthea Turner (earner) and Ashley Cole (own goal), as well as providing fascinating background info and curious Cockney facts throughout. Also included are a series of language tests so that readers can brush up on their newfound knowledge on their way to becoming a true Cockney Geezer. All in all, The Ultimate Cockney Geezer's Guide to Rhyming Slang is well worth your bread and honey to have a butcher's.

George the Third may have been a great monarch but in this book, well, let's just say you wouldn't want him on your carpet. Stephen Fry may occupy a place on the top table in the acting and writing professions but in this production he must settle for a spot in a pie and mash shop.Other strange bedfellows include Donald Trump, Brad Pitt and Egon Ronay who are often found in the Frank Zappa. Country singer Patsy Cline (line) and racing driver Niki Lauder (powder) get up people's noses and the least said about James Blunt and Paul Anka the better!Ray Puxley, a true cockney lad himself, provides an expert guide through the streets of this sparkling, cheeky and occasionally outrageous language. Not only is this a 'dick'n'harry' (dictionary) of slang, but origins, dates and relevant trivia that place the phrase in context are explained, as well as a fascinating introduction on the origins of slang. You'll probably recognise lots of words that you use but don't realise that their origin is in rhyming slang, such as 'Toe-Rag'.So, with The Complete Cockney Rabbityou can't go Pete Tong so make a cup of sweet pea (tea) and a slice of Sexton Blake (cake) and settle down and enjoy this fascinating volume.
