The letter B sounds like a bee. Add the f and you get Beef or Mutton!

I'm lost with the B - the thing about the cockney alphabet is that it sometimes requires a lot of lateral thinking...difficult for me at this time of day!

Oh, I geddit!! Button!!! LOL!

I need to lie down, now. The butcher looks like he's doing a merry jig!

My late uncle was a butcher; he wore a hat just like the butcher here. He spoke "Marylander." Big round vowels and clipped consonants.

I'm with Pall. Please take this all the way through the alphabet.

Please keep this going - this is real fun !!
