Rhyming slang for cash machines
A cash machine operator has introduced Cockney rhyming slang to a number of its ATMs.
People wanting cash out of Bank Machine’s ATMs in East London can choose to have their instruction given to them in rhyming slang, reports BBC online.
Customers will be asked to enter their Huckleberry Finn, rather than their Pin, and will have to select how much sausage and mash or cash they want.
The company plan to trial the rhyming slang in five cash machines for three months.
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 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.”
