Stick a pony in me pocket

I'll fetch the suitcase from the van

'Cos if you want the best ones

But you don't ask questions

Then brother, I'm your man

- Fools & Horses Theme

I think it was the popularity of Only Fools and Horses that gave rise to a pseudo-Cockney slang common in my time as an undergrad. Degrees were ranked:

- Geoff (Hurst) -- Class I -- "first"

- Simon (leBonn) -- Class II:1

- Desmond (Tutu) -- Class II:2

- Douglas (Hurd) -- Class III "turd"

(I matriculated '91. And not in London.)
