Going a Bit Mutton Jeff: A Dive Into the Bizarre World of Cockney Rhyming Slang
I had a bit of trouble with my ears recently—my right one decided to block up, leading to a thrilling few days of muffled conversations, shouting at the telly, and eventually, the slightly medieval experience of having it syringed.
