Follow this URL to find out about a whole load of Cockney Rhyming Slang:
http://www.aldertons.com/english-.htm
Or of course, you could watch Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins - I believe this is a most accurate portrayal of Cockney folks - no really! Honest!
(Just be aware that there will be a number of fairly strong naughty words in this language... just in case)

Yes me old china, I'm just going up the frog, to the J Arfer to sausage a goose to get some bees ro go to the rub.
Most cockney's do not use the whole phrase but only use the 1st part. It is a ploy to fool the natives of London.
China is china plate = mate, Frog is frog and toad = road,
J Arfer is J Arthur Rank = bank, Sausage is sausage and mash = cash, Goose is goose's neck = cheque and Bees is bees and honey =money, Rub is Rub-a-Dub-Dub = pub.
So my opening line would read; Yes Mate I'm going up the Road to the Bank, to Cash a Cheque to get some Money to go to the Pub.

I went across the frog to get some salmon and some jockeys. Bumped into me old china and we went to the rub a dub and had a couple too many marlons. I was creamed and me plates were killing me by the time I got back so I ignored the trouble who was trying to send me mutton, climbed the apples and passed out!
