Seriously? Well, then I don't either. I have a good friend who is english and he's the one who told me about "puddin singing in the copper". Apperantly it's pudding cooking on the stove in a copper pan or something.
You never heard of "bangers and mash"?
ABE: Ok, I found something:
"That famous plum pudding that Mrs. Cratchit crowns the Cratchit Christmas dinner with was not made of plums, but raisins.
The 'copper' used to boil the pudding was used the rest of the year for the Cratchit family laundry thus the Cratchit children help Tiny Tim to the wash-house 'that he might hear the pudding singing in the copper'."
Something to do with plum pudding I guess.

And about bangers and mash:
"Bangers and mash, also known as sausages and mash, is a traditional English dish made of mashed potatoes and sausages, the latter of which may be one of a variety of flavoured sausage made of pork or beef or a Cumberland sausage.
The dish is sometimes served with a rich onion gravy. It can also often be found served with fried onions.
This dish may, even when cooked at home, be thought of as an example of pub grub relatively quick and easy to make in large quantities as well as being tasty and satisfying. More up-market varieties, with exotic sausages and mashes, are sold in gastropubs, as well as less exotic alternatives being available in regular public houses."

Come on man, you live in london! You should know all this. You ever hear of Baker Street?
So maybe you can cork up the scratchings, but you haven't got the knuckle for a twist of Mary Sue ... you chicken-and-a-ha'penny man.
