Hmmm, kind of like "mind the gap"...

One of the American comic strips ("Get Fuzzy") is in the middle of a
series in which their "cousin from England" has dropped in for a visit. 
I consider myself a bit of a wordsmith, but even I could only pick out a
couple of phrases:

"Ah, brilliant!  Been havin' a butcher's for your flat all day, mate,
thought I'd cocked summat up!  I'm well knackered, I can tell you!  I
could do with a bevvy and a kip!  Plus, some bloke diddled me brolly in
the queue for the khazi back in Blighty."
