Ere, I were proper 'ank Marvin last night. So the old Trouble-n-Strife goes, 'ow d'ya fancy a Ruby?
I called 'em on the Dog-n-Bone, and when he said it'd be a Pony, I said he must be 'avin a larf. I couldn't Adam-n-Eve it. Bleedin Tea Leaf. Too much me old China; Borassic.
So we went down the Rub-a-Dub instead, and I got proper Elephant's Trunk. Oooo, me achin' Loaf.

Well, I understood some of it....possibly most of it. But what is a ruby?( some type of take away food?) and I'm guessing it cost a pony (but how much is that ?)or have I got it completely wrong?
Morning Cro - thought I'd just logged on to Del Boy's web site.
Hi Helsie. A Ruby (Murray) is a Curry, and a Pony is £25.
I got them all except Hank Marvin ... starvin'? (Extrapolating here.) We had a Ruby for dinner tonight and very nice it was too.
I like it.
We recently went up to the smoke and had pie and mash, lovely.

The UK's favourite dish!
I momentarily had a blind spot about 'Elephant Trunk' so looked it up on the Urban Slang website, where, apparently an 'Elephant Trunk' is slang for an uncircumsized penis. Of course, I realise you meant drunk now, but it certainly made me giggle like a smutty teenager for a while!
Oh dear, I'll have to watch my language!
Ah, I was going to guess curry but only from the context as Ruby Murray doesn't mean anything either. That's my new fact learnt for the day!
Cheers
well good old ruby murray meant a lot in our house growing up ...belfast you know!!!
Haha! We also had curry last night - thought about a takeaway then went into M&S and got their version of four different dishes for £8. Made our own rice and saved the starters for lunch today. Lovely jubbly! ( BTW there's a terrific advert on UK TV at the moment using the Hank Marvin rhyme for starvin'. Sadly the product is cr*p.)
I could hardly believe it... I saw it yesterday. Coincidence eh?
Oh to have M & S down the road. The best Lasagne I've ever eaten came from them; it was wonderful.
