This is the fifth of my voice acting dialect series!

This is a Cockney British dialect. The monologue used is spoken by Gerry in 'Cloud Nine' by Caryl Churchill.

"Two years I’ve been with Edward. You have to get away sometimes or you lose sight of yourself. The train from Victoria to Clapham still has those compartments without a corridor. As soon as I got on the platform, I saw who I wanted. Slim hips, tense shoulders, trying not to look at anyone. I put my hand in my pocket just long enough so that he couldn’t miss it. The train came in. You don’t want to get in too fast or some straight dumbo might get in with you. I sat by the window. I couldn’t see where the fuck he’d got to. Then just as the whistle went he got in. It’s a six-minute journey so you can’t start anything that you can’t finish. I stared at him and he unzipped his fly, then he stopped. So I stood up and took my cock out. He was sort of mumbling it about as if he wasn’t sure what to do, so I said ‘A bit tighter son’ and he said ‘Sorry’ and then got on with it. I wished he’d kept still so I could see his watch. What if we pulled into Clapham Junction now? Of course by the time we sat down again the train was just slowing up. I felt wonderful. Then he started talking. It’s better if nothing is said. Once you find out he’s a librarian in Walthamstow with a special interest in science fiction and lives with his aunt, then forget it. I opened the door before the train stopped. I told him I lived with somebody. He was jogging sideways to keep up. ‘What’s your phone number, Where do you live, Where are you going now?’ I saw him at Victoria a couple of months later and I went straight down to the end of the platform and I picked up somebody really great who never said a word, just smiled."
