Kathy, Strewth, is like an exclamation. Like....Good God! or just !!!!!!!!!!!!

.........

It is very old. My Dad always says it with Gawd in front..like Gawd'strewth...but then Cockneys often said Oh Gawd. I don't actually know the exact origin. But it looks like Gods Truth to me...

and I know that Australians always used to say Strewth a lot... but hey, don't ask
ME if you want a clever answer... you know me...

And I could say it any time I see Jake in a blue shirt....like now. With this result.
