I will explain:- Butcher’s = Butcher’s Hook = look (Cockney rhyming slang)- To cock summat up = to spoil something- Knackered = tired, exhausted- Bevvy = beverage (probably, but not certainly, a nice cup of tea)- Kip = sleep- Diddled = pinched, nicked, stole- Brolly = umbrella- Khazi = lavatory (US “rest room”?)- Blighty = England, home
