Cockney Alphabet

Ya'qub —

My grandad would 'entertain' us for hours with the following. I hope you like it...(n.b. You need to say it with a strong cockney accent; dropping the 'H' and pronouncing 'for' more like 'fer')

A for Horses

B for Mutton

C for Miles

D for Kate

E for Brick

F for Vessence

G for Police

H for Consent

I for Novello

J for Oranges

K for Restaurant

L for Leather

M for Sis

N for Lope

O for the Wings of a Dove

P for Relief

Q for the Loo

R for Mo

S for you, you stuck up ******, you can take a hike.

T for Two

U for Me

V for Espana

W for a Quid?
