jockney and yush

I've been looking for jockney sites on the web, but I haven't found that many. Can someone please help me out?

Yush is a popluar form of black UK slang-is that slang used in Scotland and Ireland also?

I've never heard of Yush but Jockney is a term which was coined to describe the brand of speech that emerged in places like Glasgow in recent years that incorporated English,or specifically southern English slang and pronunciation.

I don't know about Jock Knee - but lots of Scots have Jock Itch, which was never common when men wore kilts.

Scots have tried their hand at rhyming slang, but most of it's pretty weak compared to the Real McKay.

Some Central Belters (shame on them!) pronounce "loch" as "lock" too.
