Hi, Gang and Gangesses.

We all know that Roger Moore was born in Stockwell, London. (not too far away from the 'East End'). He had a cockney accent before he attended 'RADA', were his rather 'gruff' tone became the soft well spoken silky voice we know today. Or as Rog would say "I learned to speak 'Posh' at 'RADA'.

Wouldn't it have been interesting if he played Bond with a "core blimey, mate" accent?. Or even better, if all the cast on every film spoke like this.

Using the provided cockney rhyming slang dictionary, let's make up some real Bond lines, but using the rhyming slang. Or you could use your own.

I would respectfully request we do not use any cuss words, and/or making them family unfriendly.

What is cockney rhyming slang?.
