up the bracket

A reference to being punched in the throat.
It's also the title of The Libertines' first album and one of the catchphrases of Sid James.

Up The Bracket Alley

The alley in Bethnal Green, London, where The Libertines' song 'Up The Bracket' was filmed that has become a place of pilgrimage for Libertines fans. It is graffittied with many Libertines lyrics and is close to Carl Barât and Pete Doherty's former flat on Teesdale Street.

Up The Bracket Alley, the origin of one of the greatest songs ever, is at Hare Row, Tower Hamlets, E2.
