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

I love these sort of puzzles, always get them wrong though.Can you guess how much a Steve Mcgarrett is?
You don't want me on your pub quiz team
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
(you can tell I didnt Google this answer ay)
