Enjoyed this a lot as I ambled in this morning ... a bank machine that does Cockney rhyming slang.
Bank Machine has introduced an ATM that uses rhyming slang in its menus in select machines across East London. Bloody marvellous idea, simple, effective and has gone global.
Top pieces that we've spotted (no doubt the PR team will be rifling through the papers) included The Times, the BBC - with a belting radio interview featuring Bank Machine's ironically Scottish spokesperson - as well as such titles at the San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Jamaica Observer and New Zealand Herald.
Blimey guv, a belter.
close but no cigar.
in proper cockney slang the rhyming word is never said.
ie 'cash no reciept' would read 'sausage no reciept'.
nice try.

I suspect true authenticity has been sacrificed for legibility. I wouldn't want to make a mistake when withdrawing money is involved.
