@alirobinson25: This documentary focuses on the familiar working-class accent synonymous with London's East End, charting the origin of some common cockney phrases and discussing some of the preconceptions about people who use them. With more and more East End residents relocating to the Essex commuter belt, and a new generation of multicultural, multilingual Londoners growing up in the area.

I don't imagine that these people ever envisioned the flight of the cockneys to Essex and Kent. Their entire culture disappeared. He was right it wasn't the buildings.
