What's the difference between a pony and a monkey? Nealy five hundred quid, that's what. Why not watch and find out why? #cockney slang #cockney numbers #cockney money
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

You heard a hundred being called a one? Friend recounted an American coming up to his antique stall, asking the price of a piece, friend says 'that's a one'. The American gives him a pound note.
north end road market it's easy Fiver Tenner Score Pony Fifty Ton Monkey Large ive never even heard half the phrases this bloke mentions and I grew up in London
I wanna update you with London roadman money language 1 pound = “Nug” 5pound = “Fiver” 10pound = Tenner 20 pound = score 50 pound = Pinky 100pound = Bill 500pound = monkey 1k= bag 10k= Ten Gs
East London say jacks, ching, bluey, or lady Godiva for fiver.. Bobby Moore for score twenty that is. A , nifty macgarriott or a bullseye for fifty . A longen or a tonne for hundred . A carpet for three hundred, a monkey for five hundred and a bag of sand for a grand .
@@michaelmorrisson7730 my point was that "score" as twenty is not a cockney thing. It is widely used- the cockneys made up slang for "score" instead of twenty (not much rhymes with twenty)... So it is a cockney derivative of an already existing derivative. Like, for example, "the geyser lost his Aristotle" .... Meaning he lost his nerve. Aristotle is rhyming slang for bottle. Bottle is already slang/ derivative of nerve/ courage.
@@PetetheCourierDriver never heard piano, I grew up in West London ... Good few miles from Bow Church but people still still use some slang. It's important that there is consensus or it's just confusing and embarrassing like having to explain a joke. (Edit spelling)
I always used to know a grand as a bag of sand.🤷

A thousand pound is a 'bag' - £200 is a 'bottle' - £300 is a 'carpet' - £400 is a 'rofe' - £100 is a "long'un".
100 Korean won, on the other hand, are a "Kim Jong'un"
It's ruof, simple backslang (e.g. seven/ nerves).
Bag of sand... grand.
Stick a pony in me pocket, I'll fetch the suitcase from the van....
If you want the best and you don't ask questions then, brother, I'm your man.

Hello Pete, thanks a lot for these cockney money phrases. Appreciate it!
£1000 is a bag, bag of sand a thousand pound
Popped in to say this, and it’s been said...
This is great and unlike others you correctly leave off the rhyming bit e.g. 'A lady' etc.
Cheers guv. Forgot about half of these. Used to hear them a lot when I was little.
No problem. Keep using them, it's a dying art.
We sometimes call a £50 a nice and nifty.
A piano fell on his head.
A thousand fell on his head
A thousand dollar hit was put on his head, and he died.
Wonderful. Took me back to working Berwick Sreet when the street was buzzing.
Never done Berwick Street buy my mate Dennis used to do it on the fruit, although that was a long time ago.

As a kid, I remember a grand being called the "long 'un" (long one).
Quite right. It still is. 🙂
5 is also called a bluey.. 50 is also called a pinky.. and 1000 is also called a bag as in bag of sand, grand.
Most people call a grand a bag but I still prefer a piano.

£20 is called a score because - Apple core = score.
It's the other way round, a score is not slang- it has been widely accepted as 20. Think Abraham Lincoln... He wasn't from Bow.
Ped Clarke can you explain further please as I don’t understand? Thank you
Ped Clarke I’ve just google it and there’s several answers so we are not likely wrong :-s
