Thanks Hoot. Yerse, I'll keep smiling.

I'm not quite a true Cockney, I was born in Canning Town. So I'm still pretty much East End. I've lost a lot of my accent though.

Creekmouth and The River Roding is all you see on Google Maps. I lost all of my OS maps in a divorce. I used to have a great 2 1/2 inch map of Paddock Wood when I lived there.

No I don't sound like Billy Bragg, I try really hard to sound like myself when I sing. I added the Gor Blimey bit as it seemed to need something to fill in there.


What is the unexpurgated version? Is that the one that uses Shit House instead of Karzy?
