Comment on Cockney Rhyming Slang

In spite of Williams Hughes Wiltshire's comment, Cockney Rhyming Slang is actually used by many people - although the majority are not aware that the slang expression they are using are CRS, so common have they become. "Look at that berk over there - sitting all on his tod" is a sentence that contains 2 items of CRS - though some might not realise it.
