chem1st Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/odd/news/a348182/cockney-rhyming-slang-cash-machine-unveiled.html A cash machine in East London has begun offering customers the chance to have instructions presented in cockney rhyming slang. Users in Leytonstone who pick the service are given options to withdraw sausage and mash (cash), check their balance on Fleet Street (receipt) or Charlie Sheen (screen), and access Huckleberry Finn (pin) services. Once they progress to the withdrawal screen, they can pick from a number of money slang options such as Lady Godiva (£5), horn of plenty (£20) and a pony (£25). Despite potentially confusing users unfamiliar with the terms, the novelty cash ATM has already received a wealth of positive reviews. Which leads me to ask you the question, what should the cash machines in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, it's towns, Derbyshire, Greater Yorkshire and the Peak District say?

Aside from what we should say... I think customers in Leytonstone should feel lucky that they can actually get a Lady Godiver, as sausage and mash out of the lean green (I made that one up). The rest of us have to go to the cab rank to get them kind of Eartha Kitt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Cool. Over here close to the border all our cash machines ask if you want English or Cymraeg before you enter your PIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magilla Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Which leads me to ask you the question, what should the cash machines in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, it's towns, Derbyshire, Greater Yorkshire and the Peak District say? A nice idea. I like the idea of denominations of cash being given in some of the old slang. Ching, Pony, Monkey and particularly Gorilla, obviously, because it's two monkeys Used to hear it all quite a lot, not so much now. Always brings a smile. Loads of 'em on here:- http://www.aldertons.com/money.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
