I'd say lady was middle upper class at a minimum; bins typically mean "trash can", as most people don't require binoculars on a regular enough basis to abbreviate. Uses for "bins" may include horse racing or bird watching (the latter can be referred to as "twitching", though that is considered a derogatory term)

Mate, I have binoculars on the windowsill - we have loads of different birds round here, so binoculars and bird book sit next to each other. Also, we're on a visual navigation low-flying route for military helicopters, so it's always worth checking them out. I'd bet anyone who lives in the country or by the sea has binoculars, and I guess a great many others do too. I never call them 'bins' though. Bog standard and dog's bollocks are reputed to come from Box Standard, and Box Deluxe, I believe a connection to Meccano sets in the 30s. That might be an urban myth though. If anyone asks if you can say the name of the long railway station in Wales, it's Cardiff Central.

Slang in the UK can be incredibly regional and will usually be wildly different from city to city. A few I've picked up since I moved up near Newcastle, that I quite enjoy hearing, even though I don't use them myself, being born and raised near London. Why Aye Man: Generally an informal and freindly greeting, though I have heard it used to mean "Yes, I agree" as well. Very common. Bairns: Means children. Also super common. Soft as Clarts: Clarts is slang for wet mud, so "Soft as Mud". Someone who's harmless. "Don't mind my dog, he's soft as clarts." Howaay: Basically, "Go away", or "Get away from me". Can be very offensive. I've seen people get incredibly angry when they've been told to "Howaay with you." Oh and if you want to start a fight up here, go into a pub in Newcastle full of Geordies and call them Mackems. Or go into a pub in Sunderland full of Mackems and call them Geordies. Newcastle and Sunderland may only be like three miles apart, but it's a VERY important three miles to them. :) Edit: Just remembered my absolute favorite, from my Mums home county of Yorkshire. Eee By Ecky Gum: An exclamation of surprise. "Eee by ecky gum, that car came out of nowhere."

Wrong, the second half is dependent on who you are talking to or where you are. As a Scot, I can say that the vast majority of the Scottish slang used is pretty common among most Scots speakers and in Scotland. As for the English ones, they are dependent on age and/or location. As I have never lived in Wales, I couldn’t really comment on them but they do seem to be mainly words from the Welsh language as opposed to slang.
