Ya'qub —

My grandad would 'entertain' us for hours with the following. I hope you like it...(n.b. You need to say it with a strong cockney accent; dropping the 'H' and pronouncing 'for' more like 'fer')

C for Miles


D for Kate


E for Brick


F for Vessence


G for Police


H for Consent


I for Novello


J for Oranges


K for Restaurant


L for Leather

O for the Wings of a Dove


P for Relief


Q for the Loo


R for Mo


S for you, you stuck up ******, you can take a hike.
