I thought 'art' till I looked it up . . .

The neo-cockney spoken by 'de London yut' is an incredible mix. It is influenced by Jamacain patois and in the future I can envisage Polish creeping in . . .

I don't use much vernacular. I was in the East End docklands yesterday where ye olde cockney still exists. Would they have a big jam? You bet.
Wait a minute, jam jar = car . . .

:dunce:

I thought fart too @jae but I missed out on winning the daily quiz at work because apparently it's "heart"!
