Cockneys do not speak normal English but use a regional dialect called rhyming slang. "I'll go down the apples and pears to see the old dutch" means "I'll descend the staircase to see my lady wife." If a Cockney visits the podiatrist he will say "I've got a might and main in my plates of meat" ("I have a pain in my feet".
