Perhaps then sometime in the future we will then be able to kick them all out and claim back our independence once again, just as they have you understand?

That's a little strong, don't you think? What kind of person wants to kick all immigrants out of a country?

To answer the original question, it isn't the end of the Cockney. Cockneys still exist - but they're living elsewhere.

Togo, people have been answering the question aog asked: Is this the end of the cockney?

If he wants a different question answered, he can ask it.

The same type of person who wanted to kick the British out of their countries.

Much as some would wish it, one can't have it all their way, all of the time.

I think you will notice that the op adequately replied to that first question and Jackdaw also took the other jocular reply in the spirit in which it was posted. They were of course posted two days ago. Trawling old threads to post peevish asides is pretty weird. Do I have a couple of stalkers? Haha.

Seems to be an 'active' thread to me.
