Def. 01 of 9
An illegal traffic manoeuvre, which is actually part of the route due to the one-way system and the aggravation. So you actually go, you go down there, you wait because you can't turn right there. So you go up there, just do a U-turn on that road, then you go across the bridge. They give you directions, which literally includes something you're not really meant.

An inexplicable problem. Well, a plumber can't be really arsed to explain it to you. So you go down, what you got? You got with the embrasure. It hasn't bedded down, right? It hasn't bedded down, the two bits. When you get a new part, it has to bed. It's a version of a Bermuda Triangle, the old Cockney U-bed.

Where that plumber disappears to to get the part. It literally goes down the old Cockney U-Bend. Comes back covered in Greg's pasty crumbs. †

The trick used by 1960s bank robber getaway drivers in Mark II Jags to evade the Rossers. It has to be a Mark II Jag.

Circa 1990s when a beloved member of EastEnders disappears in a black cabin. It's always a black cabin in EastEnders. Always, yeah. Under the arch. Under the arch. And then just arrives on the bill.
