ha ha!

ok, examples then:)

e.g.

"So it's me daughter's birthday next week, right - and Alan, my ex, he's sworn blind he'll come this time - so I says that Cathy (that's my little girl), don't you worry my gal - your daddy'll be here."

"I should cocoa."

or:
"Crikey! It says here that the planet Saturn is made of rubber."
"I should cocoa."

the common misuse (by non-Londoners) is as 'not bloody likely'
which is similar but not the same.

(next week on the show we shall explore the linguistics of Manchester. "Sound!" )
