Cockney & Son
Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.
From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.
Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.
Cockney & Son
Episode 2: Dating Then vs Now
Dating Then vs Now
From phone boxes to dating apps, this episode dives headfirst into the world of romance, old-school style. Steve recalls how courtship worked in the 70s (spoiler: landlines and pie & mash featured heavily), while Lew tries to explain swiping, champagne expectations, and the curse of Nando’s as a first date.
You won’t ’Adam & Eve it’ about Christmas in June (Steve’s fuming), an advice corner with some “Say It Like Steve” wisdom about dating on a budget, and a new Cockney slang word to crack.
If you’ve ever wondered how far £100 will get you on a London date in 2025 or what happened to Lew’s long-lost Tracy Island this one’s for you.
