Here from the east end of London

Cor blimey..luvva duck, guv'nor..another Eastender! Where abouts? I'm in Hackney

Well, Well, Well, we're virtually next door - I'm over in Walthamstow

I'm a few miles over in Essex. Hornchurch near the Kent border to be precise. There seems to be a fair few of us East Londoners. Hope we're all going to be meeting at the London Steampunk Spectacular on January 23rd.

Do we have any Steampunk Pearly Kings/Queens?

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

With little cogs sewn all over them? The Coggely King and Queen?

[Herr Döktor]

Would that make them members of the cognoscenti?

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Cognescenti...You mean they smell of gear oil?

I think we need to set up a separate thread, but it is a good idea. Cockneys are born within the sound of Bow Bells, what is the equivalent for Cogney's?

[Herr Döktor]

Within the sound of Big Ben, or any other large, clockwork mechanism!

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

A Cogney had therefore better set up a thread within this Board, I would suggest "Hello, We Are Cogneys" Now Show reference, and look towards electing a Coggely King and Queen and setting about recipes for jellied Air Kraken. I sadly am not a Cogney, unless of course you consider that as big ben is broadcast on radio and TV we are all Cogneys. Londoners at least should be eligible.

[Mimsy Beaucoup]

Well me and Lady Ruff Diamon are 'The Cogney Queens' - see us at The Asylum!

We can lead you all in a good steamy knees up!

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

Jellied Air Kraken, steampunk rhyming slang, coggly Kings and Queens a lot of potential there I think there for a bit of fun.

'Brass'n'Junk' - Steampunk?

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

I am afraid that contraction would be 'brass' also slang for a common prostitute, so calling a steampunk lady 'a bit of a brass' is not flattering.

Maybe 'Gears'n'Junk' then? Making the contraction 'Gears' or 'Gear' which was used in the 1960's to refer to something excellent as in 'Fab Gear'.

Oooh! I lived in E 17 for a few years back in the 80's. Hartington Road..used to drink in the Coach and Horses on the corner of James Street...and the Royal Standard opposite Blackhorse Road tube....*sigh* happy days!

Ah yes - The Standard - so many happy (if slightly inebriated) nights I spent there in the nineties.

One of my fave Walthamstow pubs is the King William IV - micro brewery combined with wood, copper and brass

The micro brewery does some nice brews, including a tasty light and refreshing Ginger Beer which happens to be about 5 % - SOOOOO nice in the spring

[Arceye]

Present, Miss! Rotherham South Yorks, a town tolerant of this quirky individual, but there are not enough fellow quirkists.

[marcus cudworth]

As for myself and the good Lady Susanne and three coglets we recide in the spa of Harrogate.

[Professor Gaslight]

Myself and the good lady, Countess Anastasia de Tarot reside in the Asylum capital of Lincoln.

[The Governess]

Himself and I reside in Kings Heath, South Birmingham.

[Tranzient Gallery]

Well well well!!
Im currently stuck up in Yorkshire on the borders of West and North yorks just outside Skipton. not much steamy happening up other than the two steam railways. Embsay to bolton abbey railway and the more famous Keighley and Worth Valley railway (home of the railway children film from the 70s)   Whenever I get a chance I escape back to Nottingham for a pint in the Sal not exactly the most local local but and old fav!!!

[stockton_joans]

Northampton here, i know there are a few more Steampunks locally but the Cad's haven't signed up to the forum yet, despite my regular prodding.

[Major Wolfram Quicksilver]

Here, in Chichester at the moment, but soon to move to Lincoln.  Now that's going to be handy in Sept!

[Cuthbert Arbuthnot]

Greetings to all, from deepest darkest Staffordshire!

[The Governess]

I used to live in Staffordshire. It is quite dark. Are you north or south staffs?

[Lady Ruff-Diamond]

Well me and Lady Ruff Diamon are 'The Cogney Queens' - see us at The Asylum!

We can lead you all in a good steamy knees up!

I say Mimsy shouldn't you get the Reverend onto this Cogney thread? We don't want to be gazzumped.. "av a banana"

[mercian guy]

I hail from Cradley Heath in the West Midlands.

[Tenlo]

Although I have posted this upon the other thread, it would seem prudent to cover all bases. I hail from the favourite resort of your esteemed East-enders of Southend-on-sea, in deepest Essex
