"Alright My Old Treacle?"
Treacle Tart is Cockney slang for Sweetheart.
​
Cockney rhyming slang is a humorous slang first used by cockneys in the Eastend of London. Invented in London in the 1840's by market traders, costermongers (traders in fruit and vegetables from handcarts) and street hawkers, it was most likely first used as a cryptolect – a language designed to disguise what was being said from passers-by.
