I drove buses in London, though it was a long time ago.

were talking among themselves I couldn't understand a word they said.

You couldn't understand the english ones either? Were they speaking in rhyming
slang or something?


I am occasionally unable to understand my colleagues when they converse in
Deepest Bristolian...

I've heard that Bristol can be pronounced Bristow. Is there a word Bristowian?
