Very impressive, I struggle with the order letters go in the alphabet so thats pretty hardcore. Without the use of spellchecker I'd be useless with the written word, don't try and hide the fact I'm dyslexic nowadays.Plurals are usually a straight 's' without the apostrophe. So Cockneys, shoes, etc. You'd use an apostrophe as another way of saying 'is' , so 'The cockney is getting a bit annoyed' could also be written as 'The cockney's getting a bit annoyed'. Or 'this shoe's too tight'.
Another reason to use an apostrophe is, as you say, when it's used in a possessive way (e.g. the cockney's shoes, which is another and more elegant way of writing 'the cockney; his shoes'.
When its a plural (i.e. we're talking about the shoes of more than one cockney, the apostrophe comes after the plural, so it would be 'the cockneys' shoes', which is the combination of plural and possessive.

They'll be ex rags ! Yosser Hughes was doing it years ago !So we now have a gang of 16/17 year olds going round telling any Blue with a southern or Midlands accent to do one or face trouble!
It doesn't affect me but it's not great for the legions of Blues from South of Manchester who've spent their
People can pretend we have a 100 percent fan base from Manchester if they like!

I've never understood that "Cockney" thing. St Mary Le Bow is actually yards from St Pauls and not in the East End.Even the dictionary definitions are more Mockney than Cockney. The definition below claims a Cockney is an East Ender and someone born within the sound of the bells of St Mary-le-Bow church. Blues who know London well will realise this doesn't hold true geographically!
1. (Peoples) (often capital) a native of London, esp of the working class born in the East End, speaking a characteristic dialect of English. Traditionally defined as someone born within the sound of the bells of St Mary-le-Bow church

My mate cockney Dave avoids City matches involving London teams as he can get abuse because of his accent.
