Anyone who tries to use this slang and isn't a proper cockney, or at the very least english, will make themselves look like a right c*nt.
That Charly one someone mentioned, that's not cockney rhyming slang, it's just a play on words.
Possibly the most common example, used throughout the UK, and possibly wider spread than that, is: Let's have a butcher's.
It means, let's have a look. (Butcher's hook)

It's fairly commonly used in Australia, at least by older generations.

Yeah, I just can't understand Geordies at all. I used to work with one, and it's hopeless attempting to understand some of the he used to say.
Geordies are pretty tame in the understandable stakes next to say Glaswegians. Look up Rab C Nesbitt on Youtube/TPB or some such..

Yeah, but I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent :p
That said, I worked with a Glaswegian guy in my first job in the UK. Couldn't understand a word :wtf:

It is, but it's not rhyming slang.
Oats = charlie (from Oats and barley).
And that J edgar isn't rhyming slang either.
Geordies ing crack me up (like man).
Welsh accents (heavy, valleys) are just classic.

Ok I'll restate, a lot of older Australians use this slang. ie not Poms.
