A cash machine operator has introduced Cockney rhyming slang to a number of its ATMs in east London.
People using Bank Machine's ATMs can opt to have their prompts and options given to them in rhyming slang.
As a result they will be asked to enter their Huckleberry Finn, rather than their Pin, and will have to select how much sausage and mash (cash) they want.
The rhyming slang prompts will be available from five cash machines in east London for three months.
Other rhyming slang prompts people can expect include a speckled hen (?10), while the machine may inform users that it is contacting their rattle and tank, rather than bank.
Ron Delnevo, managing director of Bank Machine, said: "We wanted to introduce something fun and of local interest to our London machines.
That'll confuse so many of the mini statement women the queues will be round the block lol:

Problem (i) Cockney Rhyming Slang is ever changing
Problem (ii) I have never heard any Cockney call cash "Sausage and Mash" nor a ten pound note a "Speckled Hen"
The man who has dreamed up this idea is a fvcking Scot so what would he know anyway.
