    two ticks = just a minute (from tick tock 'clock' )
    cheers = can mean 'thank you' or 'bye' or as a toast when drinking
    now then = Lincolnshire expression often said 'now-en' used to say 'Hello'
    choca block = when something is full or busy
    bonkers = silly, crazy, stupid or mental
    nutter = a crazy person

    I think The British have more words for toilets and what you do in them than any other country lol

    Words for toilets:

    loo, bathroom, wc (water closet), little girls or boys room, mens or ladies, cr*pper, bog
    there are others but they escape me at the mo (mo = moment)

    I would put the plethora of words for what we do in the toilet but I think i've gone far enough

    "Having a bubble" is Joking
    "Leave it out" is stop.
    "Treacle" is a term of endearment
    "Awright darlin/babes" greeting for friends.
    "Hows it hanging?" is hows life
    My brothers wife is a proper cockney,better than the Eastenders actors,some of her expressions are I remember loads of expressions from the north east but they are littered with 4-letter epithets Dofferent words are also used around the country for different things,in the north east a "Loon" is a crazy person,in Caithness its used to describe a young boy



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    "Having a slash" and "Taking a leak" and "Pointing percy at the porcelaine" also all mean urinating

    "Spending a penny" is also urinating though it actually costs a quid if you use the toilets/bogs/loo's in Harrods
