I'm in London for the week. I'm not up for going out for a pint. I've gotten used to writing a quiz every week, so here's another bloody go at it.
The gimmick for this quiz is that each correct answer contains a word commonly used in Cockney rhyming slang. However, in order to be marked correct, you must replace that word with a suitable translation for the slang term. Given the imprecision in any translation, grading will be exceptionally lenient.
Right, then. If you're not a fan, don't be a berk about it.
