Cockney Rhyming Slang ATMs
A UK company has decided to roll out some fun cash machines in London for the next three months, instead of seeing the options displayed on the cash machine in the Queen’s English, these ATMs will give you the options in Cockney rhyming slang.
Some of the options which will be displayed include ‘Balance On Charlie Sheen’ (Screen), ‘Sausage & Mash’ (Cash), and ‘Huckleberry Fin Change’ (Pin Change).

There will be five of these cash machines available in London over the next three months, I am sure they will confuse a lot of Londoners as well as tourists, as the Cockney rhyming slang being used isn’t exactly authentic.
As Addy Dugdale from Dvice points out it should be Pie ‘n’ Mash for cash, instead of ‘Sausage & Mash’.
