IF TEAM USA want to ask for some cheese (John Cleese) on their toasted sandwiches, or if they’re gasping for a nice cup of tea (Rosie Lee), they’re in luck.

Some of them have been given a crash course in Cockney rhyming slang just in time for their trip to London for the 2012 Olympics.

We’re not sure how successful they’ve been though…
