The Cockney alphabet.
This has been around for some time and thinking of new entries or updating old entries can be quite entertaining.
S used to be "S for Williams" (Esther Williams) except that you have to be over 60 to remember who she was. It could have been updated to "S for Rantzen " except that you have to be about 35 to remember her reliably.
