I'm afraid so.
When at Costa Coffee I say, "I'll have a medium coffee, with hot milk in it, innit.
When at the fish & chip shop I say, "I'll have two cod and chips, sorted". For years I thought the word was salted, not sorted. I kept wondering why they'd put salt on my chips.
When seated on the underground, I'll pump one foot rapidly, like I'm hammering away at the bass drum. I'll keep this up for about 20 minutes, or until my foot falls off.
When walking down the street, I'll practice my twitchy head movements, looking rapidly from side to side, with the occasional glance behind.
This is enough to get a person started. Wish I could pull up a typical Chav picture for you.
