Cockney Reject
Jeff Turner was raised in Custom House in the East End of London, with seven siblings to share a three-bedroom council house. When the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" hit, his brother Mickey picked up a guitar and Jeff picked up a microphone, and together they stormed the music scene as The Cockney Rejects. The Rejects stood for being young, working class, and not taking anything from anyone, resulting in agression and violence being the main staple at their shows. However, the madness couldn't last forever, and as chaos at the gigs spiralled out of control, so did the band. Jeff was left dazed and penniless, and here tells his story. .

More Cockney Rabbit: A Dick 'n' Arry of Contemporary Rhyming Slang
A lot of water has flowed under London's bridges since the first utterances of rhyming slang. Who started it and why we'll never know, but whoever it was couldn't possibly have known the verbal monster he or she created would still be growing centuries later. In the bestselling Cockney Rabbit, Ray Puxley compiled the definitive Dick 'n' 'Arry of cockney rhyming slang. With his inimitable blend of humor and facts, he serves up more Cockney Slang, a kotchel of contemporary rhyming slang straight from the streets. Gathering the funniest and most widely used phrases of this new generation of expressions, and with Melvyn Bragg, Anthea Turner, Gianluca Vialli, and even Holyfield's ear making an appearance, More Cockney Rabbit is unlike any dictionary you've ever read. .

The Bible in Cockney: Well Bits of It Anyway...
Would you Adam and Eve it? This was the headline of many of the national newspapers. The Holy Bible (well, bits of it anyway) has been translated into cockney rhyming slang. Read how Jesus feeds five thousand geezers with just five loaves of Uncle Fred and two Lilian Gish. Or how Noah built a bloomin' massive nanny. Then there's always the story of David and that massive geezer Goliath, or the time when Simon and Andrew's finger and thumb in law was Tom and Dick in Uncle Ned and Jesus healed her...This text is aimed at people who wouldn't normally call themselves "Bible readers", as well as youth workers and ministers wanting a new approach to familiar stories, and secondary school teachers for use in RE lessons and assemblies. It contains an introduction explaining the aims and background of the book, including an explanation of cockney slang, plus seven Old Testament episodes and the stories of Mark's Gospel, "translated" into cockney slang. The book concludes with the Lord's Prayer and a full glossary of Cockney slang terms and phrases..
