miltiades, now come on, the expression is widely used (particularly among the older generation) in order that the use of foul language can be avoided.

In any case, "Sling yer bleeden 'ook" does have a certain 'jena se qua' about it and can also be delivered/received as a form of endearment.

The other day while remostrating with a Traffic bastard Warden I called him a f..ng pervert because he insisted I was illegaly parked , I told the f..ng idiot that parking my car on private land isnt illegal , then he informed me that this here private land was his bloody foot !!

miltiades,

Thanks for revealing you have a sense of humour, now, "Sling yer bleeden 'ook !"

Aaaahhhh ...... those senior moments, can't beat them

Well we have been asking them politely to leave, for some decades now.

IMHO Diplomacy is overrated ........ I am with your old chappie, tell em to sling their 'ooks and go back to Turkey.

In fact we could write it on a mountainside ......

I've seen pictures on websites that show just what 'politeness' must mean in the Cypriot lexicon. The graffiti scrawled on walls in Nicosia facing the Green Line are not exactly polite requests for Turkish forces to leave, aren't they?

The expression 'Sling your hook' is a very old expression,as it was used in the Royal Navy in the days of the fights against pirates in the Caribbean.
