Ian Drury's the London bus drivers prayer.
"Bus Driver's Prayer"
Our Father,
Who art in Hendon
Harrow Road be thy name
Thy Kingston come
Thy Wimbledon
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our Berkhamsted
And forgive us our Westminsters
As we forgive those who Westminster against us.
Lead us not into Temple Station
But deliver us from Ealing,
For thine is the Kingston
The Purley and the Crawley,
For Iver and Iver
Crouch End
It sounds better in a cockney accent

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Oh IF only my Great Grandmother was alive, her reading that in her thick cockney accent would be like music to my ears.
She taught me so much of her cockney slang, even how to talk like a true Cockney as well, then I taught myself how to copy and imitate the accents, etc, of others, their styles of walking, etc, etc, we were quite the pair comedians were Gran and I.

My ancestry is English/Scottish, but I can't do the accents.
@Lilac-JadeCanada Give me a week or two face to face and I'll teach you, no problem.
