Do you ever speak Romany now Pat did you teach it your children, I am sure someone elses family off here could do as well, but they couldnt if I am correct incase they understood what the grown ups was talking about..

Just remembered a funny story - I don't live in London anymore, We live in Kent now.
A few months back a child at the school I work in asked me if I was off the telly. No I reply - Why do I look like someone? No says child - You sound like someone from Eastenders! lol.
That was from a 5 year old.

Yeah, I'd say im goin' up West. But I don't talk in rhyming slang - It wasnt the preferred 'dialect' in my house. We all spoke Romany when not speaking English!

..............................................................................................

1 Do you ever say " I'm Gor'in opp West " ?

2 Do you talk in rhyming slang ?

The reason I am asking is I work with a guy from darn sauf and he says no one says or talks like that its just E'enders carp...would you agree?
