Is that rhyming slang? I.e. Geoffrey ate a disagreeable periwinkle, he’s had to go for a Freudian. My god, it’s got to the Home Counties!
The government have issued an appeal to campanologists to congregate at the church of St Mary-le-Bow, to summon the affected sufferers to the hostelries of Shoreditch for a good old knees up round the joanna
Very funny post [mention]snotty [/mention] What’s also funny is that a few people do actually walk like that, I knew a couple of ex- East-end types who emigrated to Kent that did. The shoulders kind of go up and down together as well as the elbows bent and out. It’s like it’s been practiced to perfection. If it was raining and they had to step around puddles wearing office shoes out to the smoking shed the whole thing was even more exaggerated. I think it’s a generational thing though probably lost on the youth of today who mostly adopt the zombie walk with white wires going in their ears and faces turned down to look at phones held in both hands. That’s another kind of virus where intelligence is slowly being sucked from humans into their smarter phones.
My old Nan (gawd bless 'er) from Camberwell did actually walk like that. Slightly bandy-legged, with her elbows stuck half out. As she'd brought up four kids while the Germans dropped bombs on her, I suppose she could do what she liked...
BTW, a warning to visitors from the North trapped in London during lockdown: be careful you don't suffer from Lard Deficiency. Eat plenty of chips (or vegan tapas if you're in Islington).
There's an equivalent Manchester version, grown men up here walking like monkeys because Ian Brown did. Bless.
Quick, we really need to scrap HS2 otherwise they'll be up in their thousands in under 40 minutes once they find out the price of housing is half what it is down there. I know, remind them that their girls ar the best or boys
