cockneys were originally a half-man half-fish hybrid that came to london from the depths of the Thames
as time went on they evolved to adapt to life based primarily on land but they still retain a fondness of eels (their primary food source in the water).
the shiny buttons that adorn the suits of their descendants now are representative of the scaled skin of their ancestors which were eventually shed following their prolonged land-based existance.
it is a little known fact that h.p. lovecraft wrote the dunwich horror after living in the east end among the cockneys in the summer of 1912.
