I met this pommie bloke many years ago and could not understand what he was talking about - guess he must have been a Cockney. I initially thought he was an English person 

Maybe he was a Sweaty.

At first I thought your favourite was nothing to do with "rhyming slang" but I was wrong! :-

True. We had one of our girls in the bar,get bar fined by a guy who had a very minor role in one of the half hour shows on UK TV. He was never a regular but a 2 minute spot in every 3 or 4 episodes. After the speil that he gave her, She was convinced he was a superstar. Funny though, he never had any money and was a total pest when inebriated.
