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 18: Things We Don’t Need Anymore, Courier Chaos & Neighbour Etiquette
📺 Bit of a Natter:
Lew and Steve reminisce about everyday items from the 70s and 80s that have completely vanished — from TV aerials and phone books to smoking indoors and those deadly travel sweet tins rolling around the glovebox. What will disappear next… door keys, maybe?
📦 Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week):
After 42 years with Royal Mail, Steve’s had enough of modern-day delivery drivers! From parcels left in bins to “knock-and-run” drop-offs, he tells it exactly as it is (and confesses a few postal tales from back in the day).
🚗 Say It Like Steve:
A listener asks: “Our neighbours keep parking over our drive – do we say something or keep quiet?”
Steve’s advice? Let’s just say it’s very … direct.
😂 The Bleedin’ Dad Joke (new section):
Round two of the ultimate dad-joke showdown! Who’ll crack first – Lew or Steve?
So stick the kettle on, grab a cuppa, and have a laugh with two generations of London life.
