1. i'm an American, got it. and there are no truer words.
2. It's called brainwashing the masses by the upper class. Same thing happens here in the USA, people vote Republican when it is clearly agains their own best interest.
3. Bet you regret that don't you mate. Conservatives have fucked thing right up.
4. We live in a wonderful nation. The sheer amount of dialects and regional expressions makes you wonder how we ever understand each other.
5. voting tory = CUNT.
6. Clapham has the finest street cockney . Its like nobody knows what a "T" is .
7. smells like fart
8. COCKney lol
9. Very true many of my family came from the Elephant and castle area and they said they were not Cockneys just Londoners. The word Cockney comes from "Cocks egg" it was a way for the criminal class to talk to each other and even if they were overheard it would mean nothing in court.
10. Boiled beef & carrots
11. by some manner of trickery, lower class and upper class are often on the same side.
12. The anthems gotta be "Knees Up Mother Brown, ain't it!?" Either that or "I'm forever blowing bubbles" of course! :P
13. mmm, i want to eat him
14. You never heard of the cheddar man then?
15. yes your right but most east londoners are all cockenys aswell...but you are bang right
16. This guy's talking bollocks. Everyone knows the cockney national anthem is Rabbit - Chas and Dave
17. I never said English was close to Swedish. And I do not wish it was either.
18. The Anglo-Saxons were outnumbered by the Celtics population-wise. 
19. As a whole nation and people, Germans are not AT ALL Nordic like the Scandinavians.
20. Vergiss es, hab grad' gesehen wie die Diskussion entstanden ist. Sorry... der Typ hat se nicht alle. Wollte dich nicht angreifen. Dacht' du verneinst nur ein duitisces culturelles Erbe. Jetzt hab ich dem Depperl schon geschrieben befor ich seine Alten beiträge gelesen habe.
21. full support here. Greetings from germany.
22. some of them were fairly close, and even modern german has some parallels. A relation is also possible, because recent tests have shown that north-germans are more close to south-swedes then south-swedes are to north-swedes. (genetic distance) however, I do not see that english is more close to swedish, then low-german is.
23. english got changed alot from old saxon. Probably because of island-influences. The dialects classified as "Anglo-Saxon" already got morphed away heavily from the low-german old saxon. I do not agree that swedish is not close to german though. Standard-german became a HIGH german language(from the south-middle east, because of Luther) the ancient german people were speaking different dialects before they all accepted the common dialect "invented" by luther.
