Here is a posh translation

Hello my friend [mate], I am currently working in the United States, but goodness, what a surprising culture shock I experienced when I realised that you don't have a nice cup of tea with your eleven o'clock break?!. I was also shocked [was in a right state] when I tried your desserts: no puddings, no custard, no scones, and no clotted cream!.

Hope this helps

Now for the TRANSLATION

Watcha = Hello

Graft = Hard Work

States = USA

Elevensies = Tea break ( the approx time (11 o'clock) the British worker takes his mid-morning break )

Wifaht = without

Cuppa Rosie Lea = Cup of tea ( abbr - cuppa rosie )

Two an eight = State

Afters = Dessert ( as in - after the main course )

What a choker = That's a dissapointment

A right result = Been lucky

I've sussed it aht = I've figured it out

Ere, come ere = Listen to me

Trouble and strife = Wife

Ag wiv yer grub = Difficulty ( ag = aggravation ) finding suitable food

Do yerself a favour = It would be to your advantage

It sounds perfectly simple to me, but I am nearly a cockney myself
I hope this clears it up somewhat for you
