Cockney accent comments
Hi-ya all,
I am trying to write something with a deep cockney accent, does anyone have any comments on this:
"I used ter go ter clubs, It were the sixties and there were so many new clubs all the time openin' up on the Kings Road and in Soho.
Me and 'er indoors ?ad startin' gonna to one them Swinger's places dahn in Soho. It were great big grand place wiv red velvet everywhere. Yer walked in and it was like a regular sheiks ?arem. Then yer went ter the back and there were the goods. The back were also right posh. All dark drapes, velvet in black and red.
In the centre of the room were a stage. A small one, all circled wiv fick curtains. And there as yer walked in ta da room were some ladies fanny sticking out at ya and cunts went right up to her and gave it a ride while yaz wotched.I did'na about that so I gos up to some gorgeous broad, all dun up to the nines in Arabian nights get up and I goes straight stiff. And I tells 'er and even pulls it out and shows 'er and tells 'er wot I want ter do wiv it, and 'oo I were and all. And she goes and tells me I ain't divin' in wi'out no raincoat. And a dunno sumfink popped and I started ter show 'er that I didn't need no johnny. I'm just about inside 'er and she goes screamin' and yellin' 'er loaf off.
And I blow, I grab 'er , and try ter get 'er ter quite dahn. She's borlin' like some girl, and blokes start starin' at me, and wiv me nervous I run outdoors, cuz I didn't need no more bad press, and then I 'ave a looks dahn and 'er torn shorl were still in mi 'ands. Its cold and I just 'ave a look 'round, still punch drunk. Me coats ?nside. I spot some gal across the way and she is walkin' into a buildin'. The bloody door is big and connected ter some worn out slow springs and so I cotch the door just as it closes.
I wait a minute and make sure she is in inside and then I follow behind 'er. Da door into er flat wa'nt so far so I wotch ?er as she steps inside. Den I pounce. I pushed 'a in and on ta the floor and I tied the bloomin' shorl 'round 'er ter try ter keep 'er shutup. I stuffed the loose bits into 'er North and South. I shot inside 'er and then comes in the bloomin' heat. Her man, right, sumfink like in 'is 70s 'eard the 'oole fin' in the room next door and called the bobbies.
The bint died wiv me inside 'er. "

It seems to mix a wide range of slang and pronunciation. At one point I thought I was in Yorkshire: "It were great big grand place". "in ta da room" sounds more like between the wars Bronx than London, ditto "broad".
Er, I assume you're American. In British English "fanni

Sorry, but, no, it doesn't sound anything close to the Londoners,
including Cockneys, I've spoken to.
It does sound in parts like the young wor

[nq:1]If it was possible, I'd recommend you got hold of some of the Steptoe and Son BBC TV series, set in east London in that time.[/nq]
West London surely? Shepherds Bush IIRC.
[nq:1]Another BBC TV series that is set in the area, Till Death Do Us Part, would also give you something of the feel of the speech there.[/nq]
That one was set in the East End.

thanks for the pointers guys. By the way the bit of about the ***** was intentional, re the rhyming slang I was actually mostly trying to avoid it. I think it would just confuse too many people.
what about just the word 'and' how do you thinkg you would write in cockney, or 'coat', or 'cold'?
and what about condom?
thanks again.

oh yeah, another thing mate
Cut off the "h"'s of the beginning of words like hello, it'd just be 'ello and if theres a "th" then its usually spoken as in an 'rf' as in bath. or muva instead of mother
