Cockney rhyming slang cash machines
If you need some bread (money) to pay for your Britneys (beers) why not head to an ATM which 'speaks' in cockney rhyming slang?Five of the unusual cash machines have been installed in London and users will now have the option to activate a Cockney language menu.
Once their card is inserted users will be asked for their Huckleberry Flynn (PIN) before they can select how much sausage and mash (cash) to withdraw..
Amounts on offer are likely to include a speckled hen (£10) a score (£20) a pony (£25) a ton (£100) and a monkey (£500).
Well would you Adam and Eve (believe) it, just taking a butchers (look) at one of these will put a smile on my boat race (face).
Ron Delnevo, Managing Director of Bank Machine, said: "We wanted to introduce something fun and of local interest to our London machines.
"Whilst we expect some residents will visit the machine to just have a butchers, most will be genuinely pleased as this is the first time a financial services provider will have recognised the cockney language in such a manner.
"Through cockney ATMS, Bank Machine is celebrating the creativity and comedy manifest within this distinctly London dialect, hopefully ensuring that this much loved lingo doesn’t pass into obscurity."
