Lordy, is that "Bow Bells"???? We have allowed the odd (emphasis on

they are sent to night school to learn English as a Second
Language...............ROFL!!!!!

There's often confusion about what is a Cockney. "Technically" to be a
Cockney one has to be born "within the sound of Bow Bells", however the Bow
Bells are those of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside which is not in Bow nor in
the east end of London but instead quite near to St Pauls in the City
although today many think that being born in the east end of London means
that they are a cockney. As it happens both of my parents were born in the
London Borough of Holborn less than a mile from St Mary Le Bow (not that
they met until nearly 30 years later and many miles from Holborn) so
technically both were cockneys however neither spoke with either a cockney
or east end accent.
