A for horses, B for mutton, C for yourself...

 I've often heard passing mention of the Cockney alphabet which begins A for horses, B for mutton etc and have now Googled the rest of it. There are various versions of it but this is a compilation of my favourite answers:

A for horses

D for ential
E for Peron
F for Essence
G for Police (chief of police)
H for retirement
I for lutin
J for oranges
K for restaurant (cafe or restaurant)
L for leather
M for Sis
N for lope
O for the rainbow
P for relief
Q for everything
R for Askey
S for Rantzen
T for Two
U for Mism
V for Espana
W for winnings (Double you for the winnings)
X for breakfast
Y for mistress (wife or mistress)
Z for miles.
