This time next year we'll be millionaires!

Perhaps is not there anything more Londoner that “Only fool and horses” is it? A bunch of superb characters, amongst them, Derek Edward Trotter “Del Boy” the fast-talking, quick thinking bussiness man, his “little” brother Rodney Trotter and their Grandad living in the southern suburbs of Peckam Rye, driving a three wheels van and trying to survive by cheating and bribing people on the streets markets. “Only fool and horses” is without doubt the best British T.V. comedy ever. See more here.
It is characteristic of this series the use of cockney and slang language. Expressions like “Lovely Jubbly”, “plonker” and “wally” became commonly used after the show. A little guide of cockney used in the series is here.

Here there is a little video of –in my humble opinion- the best sketch ever performed by David Jason (Del boy) and Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney)… enjoy it… 100% worth to watch.

At the moment that the ambulance arrived at the place Volan showed a critical state and almost without vital signals dying a while after indoors, in the above mentioned hospital. The death certificated shows a very cryptic language ...
