DOC, you are looking at English! Pure unadulterated England English. Perhaps not as spoken at Windsor but as spoken by common folk from Southhampton to the River Tweed (with some carryover to the Kingdom of Scotland). It is a bit more crude (and difficult for me to understand) in the industrial cities of the Midlands). Actually, I must admit, that until I went to University in England, I had not heard much English slang. Even if it got to Scotland, it never made it across the Minch to the Hebrides. Today, with two-track roads and all that, we are overrun with English tourists and even some Scots speak it. I'll try to translate from the English vulgate to the American vulgate:

mate = friend
bloke = guy
shag = something men and women do that often results in a wetspot. I am not certain Yanks do this. Oh, I remember = screw
