Enjoyed the puzzle! Really enjoyed your write up about Cockney Rhyming Slang. Seems pretty interesting, will look up more about it!

Great perspective and fun to solve. Enjoyed the explanation and can't wait for more.

My one complaint is that the Cockney rhyming slang isn't part of the puzzle at all. It's just stairs - no apples, no pears, no rhyming.

On the other hand, I enjoyed this puzzle very much.

Great image. So we will get a puzzle within a puzzle. Can't wait.

This is a fun challenge. First doing the puzzle, then figuring out the rhyme. I love learning new things.

Thanks, love learning new things. Had no idea this was from Cockney slang.

I always think of Basher in Ocean's Eleven when he says that they are "in barney... ...Barney Rubble?... ...trouble!"

Huh! I was not familiar with Cockney Rhyming Slang. This concept seems so bizarre, at first. But that is the case with many cultural idiosyncracies, some of which I might not even consider strange myself if I have grown up with them.

After reading up on it a little, it makes more sense, kind of, and is quite interesting. So, I really look forward to solving more of these puzzles, Robert. :-)

I wondered what bread had to do with money. Now I've learned something! :)
