Hows it go?
GM own Opel & Opel own Vauxhall...
( thirdman Ia! Ia! R'lyeh Cthulhu ftagn! Ia! Ia! Mglui nafl, Mon 10 Feb 2003, 16:01, archived)

GM owns
both, and Holden in Australia, who markt the car under a different name to Vectra, and who fit kick-arse engines in them.

And they even get sold in the states as base-model Caddilacs!

Alas
Carmen rhymes with neither vauxhall nor Opel. So there. :p

*sigh*
you don't need both to rhyme in cockney rhyming slang... you know, i'm sure hardly anyone knows how to do it properly :P

You have something and something else, equalling a product.
The second something has to rhyme with the product, but the first something is just something to complement the second one, but it can also be used as a standalone, eg.

Butcher's Hook = Look

Hook rhymes with Look
Butcher's doesn't
However, you can say "have a butcher's at this"
Which would be instructing you to do the rhyme of whatever goes with "butchers", in this case, "hook" and therefore "look"

My god, i'm from yorkshire and i still know how it works! :P
( Mushroom, Mon 10 Feb 2003, 16:04, archived)

Does that mean...
i can say "im gonna take a ride me carmen"?
spiffing.
( MrSparky, Mon 10 Feb 2003, 16:07, archived)

That
is EXACTLY how it's supposed to work

At last, I'm not the only one who thinks this way!
