Cockney Challenge

Here's another one, this time from Ian:

Please bring me back a photograph of a real Cockney- rolled up shirtsleeves, big boots, thumbs in braces.Perhaps you could record a real Cockney saying something like " Gorblimey ! Stone the sparrers ! I'm just a-going orf dahn the frog with moolah in me 'and to 'ave a ruby an a pint" Or something of that ilk.

Well, that does look like an entertaining challenge, but one that we're sure you'll agree is a high risk one. After all, we don't want to end up being chased through the streets of London by an angry cockney shouting "Lor' luv a duck! Get aaaht yew northern bastards awer i'll frow my cockles at you. Know what i mean?" or similar (many thanks to http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/rabbit for providing that gem).

Given, as we said, that we're not entering in to this with any kind of philanthropic or generous mentality, we therefore challenge you, Ian - why should we take you up on this?
