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 7: Spring has Sprung, Brits Moan & The “Perfect” Garden
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
🌼 Spring has officially arrived… apparently. Lew and Dad are back to talk about that very British moment when the sun comes out for five minutes and suddenly winter is “over” — coats are off, shorts are on, and everyone’s planning a whole new outdoor lifestyle.
💬 Bit of a Natter: The first day of spring, lighter evenings, and all the classic British phrases that come out the second the temperature hits double digits — “it’s nice out”, “getting lighter now”, “do I need a coat?”
😤 Adam & Eve It: Lew looks at the weird habits of Brits in warmer weather — from judging people for wearing shorts too early, to suddenly becoming garden experts overnight. Is it optimism… or just delusion?
🌱 Say It Like Steve: A listener question — why do we all say we’re going to sort the garden every year… and never do it? Dad gives his honest take on whether it’s laziness, effort, or just not everyone being “a garden person.”
😂 The Bleedin’ Dad Joke: Back to the classic format — a head-to-head of dad jokes, including a slightly darker one that might divide opinion.
It’s another episode full of relatable British moments, seasonal delusion and classic Cockney & Son banter — because no one talks about the weather quite like us.

SPEAKER_00Don't wanna miss Cockney and Sun to Generations. Cool Blimey, Governor.
SPEAKER_02Hello everyone, and welcome back to Cockney and Sun Series 2, Episode 7. It's officially spring, apparently, even though it still feels freezing. But you know what it's like in the UK? One bit of sunshine, and suddenly coats are off, shorts are on, and everyone's planning a whole new life outdoors. So today we're talking about that. Why we all decide winter's over when it's clearly not, let's get into it.
SPEAKER_00Gore Blimey Governor, it's now time for a bit of a nutter.
SPEAKER_02I looked it up around the 20th of March. It is the first day of spring, which is when this podcast comes out. Okay. So we're kicking off spring for everyone. Yeah. Don't cough. We're done with the winter illnesses. We're moving on to spring. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So well, when the clocks go forward, it's the summer time, isn't it?
SPEAKER_02It is, but that's not this episode. It's a couple of weeks. Yeah, that's what we're talking about in a couple of weeks. So why are you talking about it now? Right, so it's the first day of spring on Friday. Are you happy about that? Yes. Of course. Yeah. Lovely long, you know, the evening's getting uh longer. People acting like winter's suddenly ever, because we're all doing it at the minute, aren't we? Yeah. Well you are.
SPEAKER_01I've got shorts on. There's a lot of yeah, you you do see when the sun's out, people tend to get the old summer stuff out, and sometimes don't always fit. There's a bit of you know, a bit of pinky skin.
SPEAKER_02I'm in this t-shirt and shorts, and Richard went out for ten minutes, black jeans, black shirt, and then he actually asked me where his black coat was. I was like, first thing he said when he came in was it's freezing out there, it's got a t-shirt weather. I said I sent the kids to school in shorts and dress.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but it's kind of cold. It's always a little bit chilly in the morning, but then it warms up, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_02It's quite warm now, isn't it? So we're talking about obviously spring and what the British pop population are like once we see that little bit of summer. It's not just the people though, it's everywhere. Like you go to the supermarket, the garden isn't the garden, they're out. Yeah. All the daffodils uh flowers are on sale. Yeah. Little bunches. Any supermarket you go to now, you'll see Easter eggs. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And apparently they're not selling selling as well as they did last year or something. Why? No idea. There's one supermarket, they've already put their prices down. Because of the 'cause why Easter eggs aren't selling well? Oh. There was something the other day I was in a supermarket and it was like ten, fifteen quid.
SPEAKER_02No, that was a posh egg.
SPEAKER_01You can get yeah, it was a big egg, but I mean really 15 pounds.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but you can get ones for like two for a five. Oh no, yeah, I know some I know, but I mean they're about that big, don't they? No. Not in proper chocolate anymore. What did you what was Easter? We're not talking about Easter anyway. You're me you're you're you're trying to lure me into help.
SPEAKER_01I'm just saying that what's in the supermarkets, you know, with the spring stuff, salad stuff and all that, you know.
SPEAKER_02So as a as a Brit for 69 years, do you have any go-to say-ins at spring?
SPEAKER_01Not really, no.
SPEAKER_02We just Are you joking? No, we just look for You've probably said about a hundred since you've been here this morning.
SPEAKER_01No, we just look forward to the spring, though. Oh, it's nice.
SPEAKER_02It's nice when the sun's out.
SPEAKER_01No, but you just look forward I think most people just look forward to the um the lighter evenings. But you have said a few typical British things. Yeah, no, yeah. Well are they typical British things?
SPEAKER_02Nice out. It is nice out. It is nice out. And you've already said puts put puts you in a good mood.
SPEAKER_01Well, some people.
SPEAKER_02And not everyone. I'm pretty sure you've also said it's lighter in the evenings.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Is it lighter in the evenings? Yes, I think so. It's lovely to look at and it's still like Do you have a do you have a book at home?
SPEAKER_02Do you get it out, pff, dust it off? Yeah. Spring. Yeah, like this. Oh, it's nice out. Done that one. Yeah, done that one. Getting lighter, isn't it? Getting lighter. Done that one. Yeah. Oh, I don't know if I should shake a coat or not. Although you were just moaning about petrol prices. Well, that's completely different. I attract the mic, mate. Yeah. We're not gonna get into that. The reasons why that. But do you think that we get into a false optimism about it? Because where we've lived in darkness, isn't it? For so long. Well it's like coming out of a cave, isn't it? I feel like we hibernate in a way. The official temperature today is 15 degrees. That's nice. You step into a bit of shade, minus eight. That's what it's like, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. It feels really odd. And then as soon as you get into shade, you're like, Yeah. It's like the four seasons.
SPEAKER_01Well, look at last week. Last week was it at the foot match? Yeah. And no, no. Freezing. And the fog comes rolling. Yeah. That's because you was there.
SPEAKER_02Oh is that the referee? I went, uh that that's deaf. I couldn't look at that. Couldn't have put on a finite jacket, could I? 15 degrees. So did you I know that you you drove here today, but did you bring did you get a coat or take a coat? I had a jacket on, yeah. Do you have a do you have a between winter and summer jacket?
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, I've got, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Is that what you've got on? Yeah, I've got just got an Aaron on today. The boy took his rain jacket today. And then soon it'll be no jacket, could it be too warm? Because he's so British as he was actually like, I don't want to take my coat, but it's cold, I'll just take my little rain jacket. I went, Well done, you're learning. Yeah, yeah. You're learning. Yeah, he because you know he's like he likes to put his gloves and he's out on the yeah. But yeah, I'm excited. Is it I I am tempted, I still haven't jet washed or started to jet wash the patio. Positive bees. The first bee came into the house, you were there for that? I was, yes. Bell went crazy.
SPEAKER_01Bell went crazy, try to get it. Yeah. Missed it by about four yards.
SPEAKER_02There are some things I can't stand, but well, that's not for today about summer.
SPEAKER_01Yeah?
SPEAKER_02Blue bottle flies. Blue bottle can't stand them.
SPEAKER_01No, you got no.
SPEAKER_02You know the big black flies that just walk in, they fly and they don't know how to get it.
SPEAKER_01They're walking, they're big.
SPEAKER_02They come in through a big I mean I don't mean funny. They've got attitude, have they? I can understand if it was a tiny little back door. Yeah. But we've got bifolding and they they come in, they're like, Yeah, how do I get out? How do I get out? Oh no. Or go up here. Oh no, because of the sky windows. That confuses them.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, of course. You know what you should do? You should um you you pin up some CDs. What are they? Yeah, the CDs are they and then when the wind bl spins around, the colours, it it sends out Yeah, but that would go well in your house and the flight with all the time.
SPEAKER_02It don't come down that low. Well, we've got plans for half term, because another half term coming up. I feel like we've only just spoken about it.
SPEAKER_01It's only it was a short one, wasn't it? Five weeks, wasn't it?
SPEAKER_02How does it go so quick? Oh no, it's quick. So got a lot lots going on though, but let's turn that around now for a little bit of a rant.
SPEAKER_00I don't believe it! Would you? I can't believe it. Adam and Eve.
SPEAKER_02Right, so today's rant slightly different again. So I've googled. You have Google. I've googled things that people disapprove of disapprove of in Britain when it gets hot. Now we've said, oh, it's a bit hot in it. Like it's nice, it's you know, but people moan, or people will judge someone for wearing shorts. I was wearing shorts today, and then you walk down the street, it's depending on you uh it's depending on what you're like as a person. I was walking down, there was an old lady dressed like she's going on an expedition to the Antarctica. Yeah. And then she's probably looking at me going, he's crazy. Yeah, but shorts are like some elderly people they feel the cold, don't I? You know, my problem, don't look at me then. Don't look at me like I'm in Hawaii. No, and you're about to like climb Mount Everest.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I've seen you know, you you see, not only, you know, obviously when I was opposed to, we wore shorts all year round. Yeah. But you still you see other people now wearing shorts during the winter months. Yeah. Do make it laugh though, they wear shorts and they've got a big puffer jacket and well I feel like I have a bit of it out of the change.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I have a little wardrobe change for the afternoons. So I'll go out in shorts or whatever, and if it gets a bit chilly, then I put jeans on. But I'm not moaning about it. Oh no, no. I don't know. Yeah, it's up to you what you want to wear in it. But people do moan. So if you if you are wearing shorts whilst listening to the shortcuts.
SPEAKER_01Maybe they don't want to wear shorts, but they sort of like you know, a lot of like people wear shorts all year round though, don't they?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Some people do. Yeah. People saying it's boiling. It's comfortable, isn't it? Well, yeah, I prefer shorts. When you go into winter, you're like, oh like my short, I've got jeans on, I got this. Yeah. People saying it's boiling when it's about twelve degrees. Yeah, because we're not used to it. Because we've not climatised.
SPEAKER_01No, no, because over here you you get what, you get about three maybe three weeks. Yeah. Baking up when they say that we're gonna burst into flames. Yeah. Global warming. Oh mate, I'd love an Indian heat wave.
SPEAKER_02You know when they always say Indian heat wave And you get all those countries that have the heat all the year round. The only in Indian heat wave is after a coma. If you might have that written down, isn't it? That's on the spot. Do you know what it is? It's like when you go on holidays, you know when you get and people go, you know when you're going on a day and you get off the aeroplane and it hits you. Oh what when that well don't expect though? No, but what I'm saying is then you're in in that climate for like a week or two, you know, 13 days or whatever it is, but you can get climatised. We are like hot, cold, ice, yeah, yeah, I know. Wind, snow, yeah, hot.
SPEAKER_01Like our bodies are like, what is going on? Yeah, we don't know, you know, one minute you've got oh, you know, after you've got the winter stuff on, yeah. After half in the summer, you just have to keep turning around.
SPEAKER_02What people moaned out are people like, just wait in the garden, yeah? Just wait. Don't cut the grass. Don't I put something on going, oh, I cut the grass, I was a bit too eager. Then loads of people would cut the grass, message me saying I've already cut the grass. Obviously, you don't have grass, but you do have a little courtyard.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I have, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Do you look at that this time of year and go, oh, I can't wait to like get my dust off my fake plastic plants out there? No. No?
SPEAKER_01I'll just make sure me uh favourite lights are working.
SPEAKER_02The amount of people that live around you, because obviously the building in front can see down into your garden, and they a lot of people don't have the garden, do they? Or the the courtyard. Like it's not shared, is it? It's like they must think, oh look at him. He's got that lovely space. They do nothing with it. There's loads of people that probably would have had like decking done, like hot tub, everything. Hot tub? It's quite big. I can't I can't remember last time I was in your. Yeah. But you know what I mean? You just leave it like a concrete.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, what can they do? I find it today it's a bit different because like as you say, oh you got my building, yeah, that they can look down, and also you've got other houses that can look down. And sometimes you're sitting there and you're thinking, you know, it's people watching you and all that, you know. Probably. Yeah. What's that Steve? It's not very cut on the inside in his garden. The only time I used to sit out there is when the some bloke used to do some like dodgy radio show. Yeah. But he used to play some really good tunes.
SPEAKER_02And you used to do like competitions and all that. We won't give your address away, so you can get arrested. So, what about in Covid? Did you go out there in COVID? Yeah, sometimes, yeah. I bet they were like, look at him, don't even use it during a pandemic. Yeah. So you don't get that itch of wanting to go buy like new new garden furniture. No, no. If I want to go, I'll paddle. Do you have a paddling pool? I've got my big garden just down the road.
SPEAKER_01You could have something out there. A hammock. What am I a hammock for? I'll just go over to the park.
SPEAKER_02I mean, I I find it really hard, although the I couldn't really rant. I'm not a rant person about the sun. No. I I have actually I had muscles in the street. I'm ready. Yeah. I could go. Did you have your little berry on did you put it in France? I've learned it. I'm I'm doing really well with my friends. Why?
SPEAKER_01I I can understand when it's nice and sunny out, why are people moaning? Well you should have months and months of dreariness, of the the weather, the news, anything that's dreary, and all of a sudden you've got a bit of sunshine.
SPEAKER_02When we go, because you're potentially coming to France, aren't you? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01When we're out there, because I obviously want to get into my sandals I was gonna bring me sandals here today and they're banned.
SPEAKER_02They're banned from the pill. I'm gonna dust them off and then burn them off. When we're out there, because I want to get into like being trying to be a bit more fluent, am I allowed to call you papa? Papa. So when I refer to it, I go, Papa. So I think the French I think the French It's better some language you call me. I think the French word for son is fills. Like F-I-L-S, like fill fills, yeah. So papa et fiz. Obviously not dad and son, but I don't I don't think there's a French translation for cockney.
SPEAKER_01Gugny. Googny and fiz. The gugny viz. Googny it. No, that'd be great.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, so I had to Google the rant because I can't be ranty about this time of year.
SPEAKER_01No, no, not at all. I d I just don't work out how people could be. Yeah. Don't like the summer and it's the spring, the summer.
SPEAKER_02And so the only things that we've worked out that we potentially would moan about is the just how different the days are. Obviously, if they were just hot, I wouldn't care. I love it. When there's a heat wave, don't care. Bring on the heat wave, make it make it hot. Hay fever, there's actually an injection that you can get, that you have the injection, and then it should it does you for like the summer. I moan about hay fever. I bother to see see about this injection. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So is it on the national health or you gotta pay for it?
SPEAKER_02I don't know. I doubt I doubt it'll be on the national health. But what I'm saying is, well, nothing is now. It all depends how much you pay. I mean, by the time you keep buying your tablets. Hang on. Oh. I just looked it up. The wait list is seven years. Seven years. Sounds about right. And you only qualify if you are a plant. Yeah, yeah. If you're a vegan. Yeah. So don't moan about the weather. That's one thing that we're gonna tell any listeners. Yeah, if you've got a problem with the weather, skip this episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't need the Just enjoy it while it's right. I'm very excited about State Light Steve this week because it's a question. It is from Well, we're gonna find out. Oh we're gonna do the intro. Okay, sorry. It's now time for Don't sugarcoat it. Sometimes in life, you just gotta say it like Steve. This is actually the first question for series two because we've had statements. What from someone? Yeah. From someone, because I've had to do statements. Yeah, you have. Because the questions dwindle off. Yeah. And I put that down to one, nobody wants your advice. True, yeah, I've done blame them. Two, there was an issue with the emails and they just weren't coming through. Yeah, yeah. Or three, nobody wants your advice. Yeah. So I've weighed it up and I'm gone with probably there's an email malfunction. Yeah. But we have an email. So anyone listening, if you've got anything going on in your life, it doesn't have to be theme related.
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_02Relationships, work, mortgage. Mortgage? Anything you want. Email in. Otherwise, we'll have to get rid of that section. And we'll just be telling jokes for the hour for the hour. Okay, ready. Dear Steve, anonymous though. No name on it. I've got the email address. Yeah, yeah. So I could probably figure out it's but they didn't put a name on it, okay? I know, right. I know it's only just turning spring. I know I know it's only just turning spring, but every year I convince myself I'm going to talk the garden out and be really productive, yeah? Yeah. And it never happens. Am I the problem or is everyone like this?
SPEAKER_01No, everyone.
SPEAKER_02Some people are like that. I mean some people Well, you've just said that you do nothing in your garden. So how do you how do you give advice for this?
SPEAKER_01No, I don't give advice. If like some people they love their garden and they can't wait to get out of there. Yeah. Some people just can't get out there.
SPEAKER_02Do you know what I've just realised? What? I wonder if this person actually thinks that Battersea Park is your garden. Maybe. It is my garden. That would be so funny. Well you don't ruin it. Yeah, my bone.
SPEAKER_01Listeners, imagine a concrete slab. No, look, some people, you know, they love the garden and they can't wait to get out there and they you know a lot of work in it. But as you as you know, as as you said earlier about the the uh garden centres. Yeah. I was in one a few couple of weeks ago, it's packed with people and they've got their little trolleys and got all the stuff ready, the potted plants ready to go. That is great if you love your garden, but it is hard work. If you're not into that sort of work, it is hard. Because I know that And then to maintain it as like you have I mean you've got a big garden, you've got to mow the lawn all the time, you know. Yeah. Takes me uh at least ten minutes to get to the end. It does, and you and that's by bus.
SPEAKER_02You assume that gardening is what elderly people like to do, yeah. No, no, no. There's quite a lot of young TikTokers and Instagrammers, but it is hard work, like if you go out there and you're like trying to like cut this or dig this, for an old older person who's not as agile, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite it's quite a workout.
SPEAKER_01They do all that pruning, they know what bits are cut and all that, and then they they know all the names of the flowers by their Latin names and all that.
SPEAKER_02Nowadays there's two types of people in 2026, yeah? There's gardeners, yeah, and then there's resin and astroturf.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. But some people they do the gardens, they get it all nice, but then they just don't sit in it. No. They just look at it. And you get other people that do the gardens and they've like barbecue.
SPEAKER_02What is your view on AstroTurf in a garden?
SPEAKER_01AstroTurf.
SPEAKER_02Do you do you consider that lazy or you think that's a good there's benefits to it?
SPEAKER_01Well, i there is benefits for it. I mean, it it looks nice and and it's you don't mow it. Right, that's lazy though, isn't it? Well, yeah, you know, but it's it looks nice and you just gotta give it a little brush there and there. But some people like that.
SPEAKER_02So if you had crazy.
SPEAKER_01If you don't want, you know, if you if you're one of these people that want a garden but you don't want to do all the hard work, then natural turf is fine. Yeah. But you know, if you would like your garland.
SPEAKER_02I just think though that you are getting rid of nature and stuff, aren't you? Didn't play the guitar. Like do you know what I'm saying? Obviously, if I got rid of if I if I got rid of that and made it astroteurf, there's a lot of wildlife that would suffer.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, of course. Yeah, but a lot of people don't worry about it, do they? They just want their when your planet dies, it's your own fault. Yeah, of course. And they just want their garden to look nice without the hard work.
SPEAKER_02See, because I could have cut down that tree, not that one, that one. What the big tree? The one that has a lot of not not the not the massive one in the middle. No, you know that you know, right outside I've got the really nice one, the magnolia tree that's now, but the only one on the other side that does get a lot of bees on was. I could have cut that down and gone, ooh. Do you know what I mean? Buzz. But I'm helping the bees. Yeah, of course. Planting a natural bees. I feel like I'm help basically giving Saving the Planet. Saving South East London. Yeah. You could be the new David Attenborough. Anyway, going back to the question, okay, it never happens. So that you get I get it, you see everyone, it's like everything else. You see everyone. Yeah. Oh, look at this BM, you know, oh great, new.
SPEAKER_01It takes up a lot of time and all to do you know, to make your garden nice. We've had a and by the time, sometimes by the time you've you get around to it and start doing it, winter comes anyway.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. You do all that work for two weeks, and then you go on a holiday for one. Yeah, exactly. So then you're back for the one week. My this is my view on it, which is a hard one because obviously the garden, our garden is quite a lot to manage, yeah. But if you love your garden to the point that you sit outside and you eat outside and you treat that's great. I've had quite a few gardens, yeah. Yeah. And I probably could count on my hand the amount of times that we've actually sat outside. Well, sometimes you just sit out of the front here. You don't actually go on to the I don't grass. I'm not allowed to sit down. I can't think I could sit down until the kids are at least 18.
SPEAKER_01No, but I mean you you know when people come around, we normally just sit out that front bit, we normally don't go on the grass. No. But I don't think me and Richard would sit out there and be like, ooh, it's nice saying it, Rich. Well, that's it, it's a shame. Because like this so relaxing. But some people when you go out, but some people like you know, if they if they never ever you know, say they was little and they never had a garden, all so they get grounded. They never had one and they want a garden. That's exactly we never had gardens. The balcony. You know, when I was little, we had bottom like bomb sites and that, you know.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, don't care for over there. There's something that hasn't gone off yet.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, what's that ticking? Yeah. And yeah, but people you know, then when people sort of moved out of the flats into little houses and they they love their gardens, but no, you it's that person, no, it's not j she's not the problem, or whoever it is, or he's not the problem.
SPEAKER_02No, it's it's like everything else. You probably see online a lot now about or you see, or being it's like holidays. Oh, I'm not going on well, we said, Oh, Christmas Valentine's the uh garden centre. Everywhere you go, supermarkets, they've got garden events that you probably think you have to do something in your garden to make it look nice. So don't worry about it. No, not at all. No. Just sweep it, brush it.
SPEAKER_01Make it presentable, that's it. Sit out there if you need it. If you want, you know, but these p some people they go like they it's like competition time, isn't it? Yeah. They want to outdo the neighbours' gardens. I think Richard set that off in our street. You know, like when people do this, they go around sort of uh there's a house for view. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I think they just go out and look at the gardens and stuff, yeah, just to see, you know, if they can pick up any any tips or Well your your last piece of advice to anyone out there feeling like they should get out there and do the garden clean. If you want to keep it, do a little bit of weeding maybe.
SPEAKER_01It's up to you if you want to do it or not, you know, you know. But it's it's not a major thing, you don't feel guilty that you don't got your garden. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But I think that's the way it is, then. Exactly. Yeah. I f if if if I see a weed, I'm like, oh. Especially if you've got you know, if no one's can see into your garden, it only matters it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's true, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If people can overlook, they go, Oh, look, he ain't made your foot, or she ain't made your foot. Yeah. But if no one can see, nah. Nah.
SPEAKER_02But if you can't be bothered, astroterfit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02There you go. Then you don't have to worry about it as much.
SPEAKER_01No, that's right, yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Or just paint it.
SPEAKER_01Paint your green.
SPEAKER_02Get get some green paint from Bean Q. Yeah, and paint your grass. Paint your grass. Right, moving on to the funniest part of the podcast. Get ready to laugh.
SPEAKER_00It's now time for the bleeding duck joke.
SPEAKER_02Last week. Yeah, did I get any troubles? Nah. It was funny though. It was funny. So you you did read out some your mum jokes, okay? But we're gonna go back to the original Your Mumma.
