That's not Essex talk it's Chatham chavvie talk innit bruv :)

I work in a prison and the phrase that keeps on coming up when they are talking about getting out at the end of their sentence is 'on road', as in 'I'm gonna visit my boys when I get back on road'. So that's another lot of slang to add to Essex/Kent talk.

aaaw, that just reminds me of The Littlest Hobo.
