'Please insert your blasderd of lard'

This is possibly the funniest thing Hui Min and I have seen since we arrived in London- last weekend we decided to continue our jobs as tourists by exploring East London (or parts of it rather)! We went to this nice market called Spitalfield Market and it's got a nice cool indie vibe about it- it's like Far East, Bugis and Haji Lane squished together. Books and some stuff were quite affordable! Anyway after walking around and doing a bit of shopping we were hungry and we decided to head to the (in)famous Brick Lane for curry and some good ol' prata but before we arrived we chanced upon this pot of gold: An ATM with a Cockney language option:

One is required to insert his/her ATM card (also known as the 'blasderd of lard') and key in his/her PIN number (also known as the 'Huckleberry Finn') and then decide if he/she wants to withdraw cash with or without a receipt (cash= SAUSAGE AND MASH)!

"Hmm I may withdraw a Horn of Plenty"

I wonder if there's an ATM out there with a 'Tudor English' option- where you can withdraw 'bounty' amounts and the ATM may ask questions such as 'Would Thou like to take some gold coins out from ye underground lair'- I can't wait to find out more language options.
