So the legend goes... and according to our source, Paul,
it is said in London that to be a true Cockney you have to be born within the sound of the Bow Bells. So, where are the Bow Bells? Well the bell is part of the Church of St. Mary le bow. The Church was extensively damaged during the second world war and the bell stopped ringing. So, technically speaking, no Cockneys were born in London from 11th. May 1941 till the 21st. December 1961, after 20 years of rebuilding work.
*Oh my goodness! This means that the children's father is not a Cockney afterall, something he prided himself on! -SD
