It came to me a few weeks ago (well I think it may have been party Simon’s observation) that the surname of Blackburn striker, David Hoilett, almost rhymes with the word ‘toilet’.

I would like to make a request to add an entry to The Walford Dictionary of Cockney Rhyming Slang. I’m not sure who I need to contact for this, but if anyone has the telephone number of Barbara Windsor, it’ll be a start.

The rhyming of the word toilet with Hoilett, can be ‘cockneyfied’ to “I’m going to the David!” or “’scuse me, guvnor, where’s your David? I need a Brad Pitt!”

I can see this taking off in markets, pubs and jellied eel factories all over the East End.

  • About Me

    So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?

    If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.

    However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.

    You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.

    All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
