Rhyming slang in a right two and eight

An average of one post every two years is probably not too brilliant, so here at spaceLetter we'll try to do better in future.

However, we felt that we couldn't let this report from the East London Advertiser pass without comment. The paper comments that "language experts", whoever they are, allege that cockney rhyming slang is dying out, to be replaced by a multilingual dialect popular among da yoot. So, in order to preserve the heritage of the pearly kings and queens, researchers from Lancaster University are keen to record poetry and dialect from in and around Walford. Better than getting into an how's yer father about it all, I guess.
