"So it's me daughter's birthday next week, right - and Alan, my ex, he's sworn blind he'll come this time - so I says that Cathy (that's my little girl), don't you worry my gal - your daddy'll be here."
"I should cocoa."
or: "Crikey! It says here that the planet Saturn is made of rubber." "I should cocoa."
the common misuse (by non-Londoners) is as 'not bloody likely' which is similar but not the same.
