Eating out...



Well hello you gorgeous bunch, may I say you are looking paticularly lovely today!
Now I hope you've all been trying out your new Cockney rhyming slang skills on folks and family members?! :)
Well I think it's time we moved on to a bit more advanced stuff, but don't panic if you've just joined as my Cockney for beginners Sparrows are available at my Ye olde Etsy shoppe here:
 

Allo my old china!


So as promised/threatened last time, we're moving on to eating out!


Mr. Sparrow sits amongst a big old bunch of hand stitched leafery in pink and browns, turquoise and greens with bright pinks, reds orange and purple.



He seems a bit peckish...(pardon the pun!)

:
Hand stitched words...repeat after me:

"GORDON BENNETT!
I'm bleedin' Hank Marvin!
I'm goin for a Ruby Murray, then off down the rub-a-dub
for a swift pigs ear!"


Translation:
"Goodness me I'm hungry!
I'm going for a curry and then a visit to the pub for a beer"

Hank Marvin = Starving
Ruby Murray = Curry
Rub-a-Dub = Pub (public house/bar)
Pig's Ear = Beer


I will provide a translation with the item just in case of confusion! :)

Colourful, fun and food themed; send a surreal message via the language of Cockney Rhyming Slang, a unique gift for the fridge raider in your house perhaps...give the gift of Cockney Sparra this Christmas- nowt says "Luv ya me old trouble n strife/ pot and pan" like a Cockney Sparrow! ;0)

Big MimiLoves to y'all and thanks for droppin' by!

Cooee.............love your latest Sparrra' Karen.
Couldn't pick the Hank Marvin, so thanks for the translation.
Shall have to try it on a few of me cobbers and see what odd looks I get, or is that just their reaction to me, hehe.....

A weeeeeeeeet day here, hope you are enjoying a bit of warmth and sunshine.
