Whoever programmed that ATM with Cockney rhyming slang is amazing and I want them to re-tinker with all the banks' machines in the country immediately XD

To those outside the UK, yes this rhyme slang is a real linguistic thing, sadly dying down in usage, and I recommend picking up some phrases for hilariously confused conversations with friends.

Charlie Sheen = Screen
Fleet Street = Sheet
Sausage & Mash = Cash
Dog & Bone = Phone

Ah. I was missing the "Charlie Sheen" and "Fleet Street" ones.

At the top, "Sky Rocket" is "Pocket", while "Rattle & Tank" is (of course) "Bank".

I read a Dick Francis book that referred to this. Too bad I couldn't bring my books with me when I moved, I could dig through them and tell you which book it was.
