The Bermondsey Waiters song (above) had its annual airing at today's old people's party at the Salmon Youth Centre. The old folks were serenaded by the youngsters who later served them their afternoon tea: 'we are the Bermondsey waiters we are. We like to serve you like you was a star. With mince pies and Rosie and plenty of cheer, just because its Christmas at this time of year.'
Explanation/Translation: Rosie is Cockney rhyming slang for 'tea.' In the same vein, Johnny our compere, invited the 'Pie and Liquor of St James' to say grace at the beginning of the afternoon. You can work that one out for yourself.
