Cockney rhyming slang introduced in bank machines - Daily Telegraph

Posted: 24 Aug 2009 04:57 AM PDT

People using the Bank Machine ATMs in East London will be able to opt to have their prompts and options given to them in rhyming slang.

Those who want to take out £10 will have to ask for a speckled hen, while the machine may inform users that it is contacting their rattle and tank, rather than bank.

The rhyming slang prompts will be available from five ATMs in east London for three months from today.

Ron Delnevo, managing director of Bank Machine, said: ''We wanted to introduce something fun and of local interest to our London machines.

''Whilst we expect some residents will visit the machine to just have a butcher's (look), most will be genuinely pleased as this is the first time a financial services provider will have recognised the Cockney language in such a manner.''

The ATMs displaying prompts in Cockney are all free to use, although the majority of group's cash machines typically charge a £1.50 fee.
