For 'Fast Sausage and Mash,' a Cockney ATM
One company will offer Olympics visitors ATMs equipped with the East London dialect.
Turns out there's going to be a bit of a cash shortage at the 2012 Olympics, but that doesn't mean first-time visitors to London have to succumb to a sterile, globalized world of Visa-assisted plastic transactions.
We learned earlier this week that the Olympics sponsor had 27 ATMs removed, replacing them with eight Visa-only cash machines. But a U.K. company known as Bank Machine will provide a different automated experience nearby, offering ATMs that give you the option of withdrawing in Cockney.
