Could you buy a phrase book?
Eer me old choina, give us a ruby.
(That would work in an Indian restaurant)


Have a go at introducing yourself to us, we'll put you right if needed
Please and thank you seem to work quite well.
One phrase you must learn:

You're avin a f*ckin larf, incha?

It's a form of all encompassing enquiry.
reminds me of this:-

Emma Chizzit (What is the cost?)
Wotcha duncha rare (Have you visited a hair salon recently?)
Don't ever use the word that begins with f and ends with ck. it's not funny!
In the pub,'my round,again,is it'
or 'shall I get you,another,one'
Heavy emphasis on 'again' & 'another'. Not that it'll do much good.
Flick?
You might also here the word 'Geeza' used often.

Don't be confused, it has no reference to where the pyramids are situated.

I notice that you don't specify talking to the Londoners in English,
a wise move imho.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickyyyyyyyy! Pat, riiiiiiiiiickky, pat, pat, Ian, riiiiiiicky, pat, Ian, pat, rickkkkkkkkkkky! Pat, Ian, riiiiiiiccckkkky! Den.
"Turned out nice again" (for when we get two successive days when it's sunny) and "Looks as though it's clearing" (when the weather looks to be improving, whether it is or not; we like a little optimism) "Nice day" (when the weather is good) and "Lovely weather for ducks" (when it's pouring with rain).

Those are the basis of all conversations with strangers in Britain. Seems odd to foreigners, but their weather doesn't change every five minutes.
//"Turned out nice again" (for when we get two successive days when it's sunny) and "Looks as though it's clearing" (when the weather looks to be improving, whether it is or not; we like a little optimism) "Nice day" (when the weather is good) //

these phrases are often used in conversation when on the underground, when all you can see out of the window is black cables.

"Luvly Jubbly"
When in social intercourse with any person under the age of 18, all sentences should end with the word "innit" ...
dave, I disagree.
The ending of each sentence should be "do ya know what I mean"
Surely that is in Liverpool Mrs O.

Would you mind not spitting please?
Excuse me, do you speak English?
Just take what you want but please don't hurt us.
Excuse me, I'm trying to get through, would you mind not blocking the pavement?
Why does it smell so bad here?
What do they put in the coffee that makes it so expensive?
