One of my favourite encounters with #strangers happened over a decade ago. I was watching park football in Bute Park Cardiff, and overheard a familiar accent.
I asked the lady if she was from London. Yes - as true a #cockney as you could get. I asked why she said that.and she told me that her mother was carrying her when out walking when she suddenly went into labour. Actually gave birth to her in the toilets of Bow Bells church.

Peaky Blinders, Season 2, Episode 2
The first appearance of Alfi Salomon, played by Tom Hardy.
He’s speaking the hardest #Cockney I’ve ever heard. Really challenging to understand. -

🎉🦸♂️Hold onto your chimney sweeps! The man with elastic limbs and accents thicker than British fog allegedly turns 100, according to The Guardian's marathon-scroll of self-congratulatory drivel. Maybe by 200 he'll master a #Cockney accent! 😆🎂

You said: "What is so different about the Taiwanese dialect of Hokkien that it needs a different name?" I gave you direct answers with the examples of #Québecois (which uses a different name from #French 🇫🇷) and #Taiwanese 🇳🇫 which contains many words not used in #Hokkien 🇨🇳 (Does #Cockney deserve its own name?), and you're still not satisified. -

I've invented a new genre- Cockney Noir- and it's glorious:
“I ain’t lived a bleedin’ good life. I’ve been proper naughty, worse than you can Adam and Eve.”
“Ya know that’s bang tidy, ‘cause if ya actually was as innocent as ya pretend to be, we’d never get nowhere.” -

Singing "boiled beef & carrots" to myself (because I'm clearly an ex Cockney street urchin) but somehow I crowbar the line "you look neat, talk about a treat" from Any Old Iron into it.
