    Need a speckled hen and not near a cab rank, where do you find some sausage and mash?
    Why, you go to your local cash machine of course and, if you live in east London, you might even come across one which gives you the option of proceeding in a variety of languages - and offering cockney.
    The idea is the brainchild of Ron Delnevo at the Bank Machine Company, which already offers the option of Welsh - where else but in Wales - and is introducing Gaelic in Scotland


    ....


    Money-related cockney terms
    • Sausage and mash (cash)
    • Cab rank (bank)
    • Barrel of lard (card)
    • Huckleberry Finn (pin number)
    • Balance on Charlie Sheen (screen)
    • Balance on Fleet Street (paper print out)
    • Lady Godiva (£5)
    • Speckled hen (£10)
    • Horn of plenty (£20)
    • Pony (£25)
    • Double top (£40)
    • Dog and bone (top up mobile phone)
    • Nigel Manselled (transaction cancelled)

    OK so what would alternative language could a cash machine in Ireland use?

    Bertie bucks???
    A fistfull of NAMAS?

    In Australia a ten-dollar note is called a 'blue-tongue' (type of lizard over here.) because the note is blue; a twenty-dollar note is known as a 'lobster' because the note is red; a fifty-dollar note is known as a 'pineapple' because the note is predominantly yellow; and a one hundred dollar note is known as a 'cabbage' because it’s green.

    I don’t know what a five dollar notes nick name is but you can fold it so it looks like a whale giving a blowjob.
