Wooed by the beautiful Bath and West Showground or Stafford Showground, in the past delegates have come over from South Africa, Malaysia and Europe (and you thought being stuck behind a tractor on the A303 was a nightmare).

help with the lingo...
Life in a different country can often be a bit confusing, so here are a few bits of traditional cockney rhyming slang and some historical references you can memorise and put into practise to make you sound like a proper old pearly King or Queen. Although you're unlikely to come into contact with any of this London based dialect, it is quite fun!

‘Ruby murray’:
Curry e.g. ‘That was one spicy ruby’
‘Posh and Becks’:
Decks/Turntables e.g. ‘He’s pretty good on the ‘Posh and Becks’
