    Connar, have you ever seen the film or musical ‘My Fair Lady’, in which Henry Higgins teacher Eliza Doolittle, a common flower girl (street seller of flowers), how to behave and speak like an upper-class Lady? This comedy drama is a parody of that, doing the opposite!
    Joseph Merrick (aka the “Elephant Man”), teaches an upper-class young Gentleman, how to speak and behave like a lower working-class ‘Cockney’ street thug.
    The comedy drama is set in the warehouses and streets around White Chapel, and the docks of the ‘Pool of London’: which is the area around Tower Bridge, as it was in the 1800s.
    The language they are speaking in English, it’s a mix of common colloquial English, and the local ‘rhyming slang’ words common to this areas of London, and commonly used by the lower working-class people during the 1800s to mid-1900s.
    It’s is named ‘Cockney Rhyming Slang’, and is a ‘metaphorical’ use of language to convey meaning.

    It originated in what is called the ‘East End of London’ in poor communities in employment around the River Thames. Many of the phrases are commonly used today in everyday speech. Mainly in the South of England, but are so commonplace they are understood throughout the whole of Britain, and abroad in places like Australia and Canada.
    Anybody who was born within the ‘Sound of Bow Bells’ (the sound of the bells of the Church of St. Mary Le Bow), like myself. Is regarded as being born a ‘Cockney’.

    The total confusion was the best bit.
    I tried many years ago to teach a septic (tank = yank) a bit of slang with an accent.
    Dismal failure even though I copied both their American accents in seconds and sounded like one of them.
    They were baffled and thought I had some kind of talent!
    Nah mate,just a bit of cockney banter.

    He lacks what Irish people would call "Cop on".

    It's Joseph Carey Merrick the name John was allegedly used by his acclaimed physician Sir Frederick Treeves who essentially took him in as an oddity to discover what he had wrong with him, due to Merricks deformities it was easier for Treeves to get Joseph to say his name was John and it stuck. Joseph Merrick lived for 27yrs b. 5th August 1862- d. 11th April 1890 his skeleton is on view at the Royal London hospital and has been preserved using bleaching techniques. If you haven't seen the film by David Lynch simply entitled 'the Elephant man' is an amazing portrayal of his life and times with fantastic acting. Cheers buddy ✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸👍🙏

      Harder now than it used to be. Noise levels have reduced the distance that the bell could be heard. I live in Bethnal Green which used to be in the area you could hear the bells but not any more - this explains it wi-images.condecdn.net/image/y9pyAV1GGaa/crop/1620/f/bells.jpg

    Sorry about this, but the Cockney accent (I live near E. London) is just a sloppy way of speaking English, deleting the letter h and the letter t, to say nothing of double negatives, which are not allowed. It sounds awful, and I don't like it. Experts say it is a dying accent and will not be about in 25 years. It is being replaced by other accents in London which reflect its enormous ethnic diversity.
