I was just reading a forum where people were posting their favourite quotes from Band of Brothers. Someone posted that they liked the scene where they’re preparing for D-Day…

I am asuming that most of our USA members may not have caught the meaning of this little bit from cd1. sceneĀ  - June 5th assembly area C47s and paras everywhere. English soldiers are walking around in German uniforms to show how the enemy will look in France. One has a real LUGER.

“Hoy mate ! , youre avin’ a bath if you think you’re alf inchin’ that”.
“what”…….
“what”…….
(Paratrooper hands luger back)
“Thanks …cheers mate”.
(Cockney rhyming slang understanding required ! )

Someone else on the forum quoted this and replied with:

i never really get the meaning of that scene. was soldier hoobler was talking to an australian?
