What Is 'Tactical'

[Adolf Hamster]

Both my parents are from the East End of London. I'm more annoyed when people from other parts of London say they're Cockneys when they've never been further east than Fulham. Or when people from other parts of the country try and use the same phrases.

you're talking to someone to whom london is this big grey blob on a map that i never want to go to again

As for where the slang started, it was just a way of keeping people from outside the Cockney bubble from understanding what they were saying, just like many other dialects and forms of slang. Innit bruv. Ya get me fam?

yeah, figured it's be something alone those lines as you say tends to be the case with a lot of them when it's not evolved from a previously distinct language.

You and me both. The place is (mostly) an expensive shithole.

but then i'm sure the cockneys say the same thing about the west country.....

I don't think cockneys know The North exists tbh

Cockney is North.

What isn’t North is that place below the river

i'm just not a fan of cities (well to be more correct densely populated areas) in general.

As someone that has moved from commuter belt (Surrey) to semi-rural (North Hampshire, just outside Basingstoke) I can confirm that despite my heritage I'd be entirely happy living in the middle of nowhere as long as I can get good broadband and Amazon deliveries!
