I can forward you a Gregory
Blimey, I haven't heard it called a Gregory for ages :lol: =D>

I use to work for a bloke (bit of a 'delboy') who some days only spoke in rhyming slang, mind you this was when I was in the South.

375 would have understood him :lol:

Well that's me stumped :oops:
I may be from the South but I never was any good at rhyming slang.
Whats a 'Kite' then?

Same as a gregory a cheque :)

Gregory Peck - a cheque, I get that but why is a Kite also a cheque?

See thats where East end talk falls flat. I mean why call £500 a monkey? And whats a Pony? Is that £20? But why....why?

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact here in the UK we have different dialects & phrases etc & we should do our best to hang on to them.

Its like here in the East Riding, the first time I met my wifes old man (Dad) he greeted me with the phrase 'now then'

So I was expecting him to carry on talking as in 'now then how are you?'

But no, 'now then' up here is like 'hello' where I come from. I bloody love this country & its bizarre ways.

Ooh & up here they say 'what do you know' as in (I think :? ) 'What are you up to?'

The first time someone asked me that I replied "the English language", don't think it went down very well :oops:

Anyway, sorry long un we seem to have gone off track with your post, seems to happen a lot on this forum 8)

I love these sort of puzzles, always get them wrong though.

You don't want me on your pub quiz team :lol:

Don't tell me 375, I'm going to get this one,

Steve McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0.

See my logical brain says that it must be £50 but my diverse brain is thinking, Hawaii 5-0, book em Danno. But danno doesn't rhyme with anykind of monetary term.

O.k I give up, what is a Steve McGarrett?

I get it now...

Steve Mcgarret...
ryhmes with CLARET..
you buy wine by the dozen...
there are 8.3 standard drinks in a regular bottle (14%)
...SO 12 x 8.3 = 99.6

so a McGarrett is a HUNDY - right?
...maybe I forgot to carry a Dart score in there somewhere :lol:
(you can tell I didnt Google this answer ay)
