Sort of. A true cockney is someone born within the sound of Bow Bells (roughly a couple of miles radius from St. Mary Le Bow church on Cheapside in the City of London) This area mostly isn't residential any more and is where a lot of the banks are now based.

Great Grandpa Rickshaw was a genuine cockney.

Interesting, but why a church, and where does the word cockney come from? There must be a gooddecent story in there somewhere... where can I find it? Or what keywords would I use to google it?

 

[welsh dragon]

Cos the bells are in the church and it covers the area where the bells can be heard

Why do you think she's staying over here?

So you're saying the police in England won't do anything about it like deport her or something.. what about a bounty hunter? If they were to get permission ahead of time from someone there (in law that I would have no idea who) and take her back, she must have a price on her head...... hmmmmmm wonder how much it is?
Next time you see her handcuff her to something (preferably heavy and immovable with heavy duty handcuffs with a combo lock on it )and and I'll come pick her up in maybe 40 or so hours. Just make sure she is fully exposed to all indecent and inclimental weather and traffic exhast.

Who says Leprechauns aren't real!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun
"According to McAnally,
"He is about three feet high, and is dressed in a little red jacket or roundabout, with red breeches buckled at the knee, gray or black stockings, and a hat, cocked in the style of a century ago, over a little, old, withered face. Round his neck is an Elizabethan ruff, and frills of lace are at his wrists. On the wild west coast, where the Atlantic winds bring almost constant rains, he dispenses with ruff and frills and wears a frieze overcoat over his pretty red suit, so that, unless on the lookout for the cocked hat, ye might pass a Leprechawn on the road and never know it's himself that's in it at all."
This dress could vary by region, however. In McAnally's account there were differences between leprechauns or Logherymans from different regions:[16]

• The Northern Leprechaun or Logheryman wore a "military red coat and white breeches, with a broad-brimmed, high, pointed hat, on which he would sometimes stand upside down".
• The Lurigadawne of Tipperary wore an "antique slashed jacket of red, with peaks all round and a jockey cap, also sporting a sword, which he uses as a magic wand".
• The Luricawne of Kerry was a "fat, pursy little fellow whose jolly round face rivals in redness the cut-a-way jacket he wears, that always has seven rows of seven buttons in each row".
• The Cluricawne of Monaghan wore "a swallow-tailed evening coat of red with green vest, white breeches, black stockings," shiny shoes, and a "long cone hat without a brim," sometimes used as a weapon."
