Cockney cashpoint
Posted by Lunaman on 17 December 2010 - 3:35pm.
I was out in Shoreditch East London last night. i went to a cashpoint to get some bees & honey and it asked me if I required instructions in English or cockney! It amused me so I'd like to share....

Awesome!
Where is this? I live on Old St - I simply HAVE to find it!
It's just down by Spitalfields market.
On commercial St walking down from Spitalfield market going east. Passed Brushfield St on the left (just past a multi storey car park)by the E1 bus stop there is an estate agent(Sai Properties) with a cashpoint outside.
Here's the google ref for satelite view - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?rlz=1T4ADFA_enGB366GB367&q=shoreditch&um=1...
Got it
Excellent! I know where that is.
(The Google Map shows me the middle of a lovely field - there's a *rural* Shoreditch - who knew!)
Sorry about the google map ref
I could see it and copied link! Glad you know where it is. It doesn't even charge for dispensing cash.
English & American
I once used the left luggage lockers in Valencia Train Station. The on-screen instructions offered me the choice of various languages, including "English" and "American".
I chose English and was slightly disappointed when the instructions didn't say things like "Now just slip the jolly old bag in the locker old boy and insert 100 pesetas, there's a good chap."
That is...
brilliant.
But what if you're overdrawn?
"You're brassic lint mate. Jog on."
