A line from Belavista Man, I know it's some kind of rhyming slang but can't find the meaning online, been wondering about it for years. Was it one of the ones Fran and Rick made up? And any one good to explain it? Any Cockneys on here?

 Francis and Rick were not Cockneys, they're from South London. Different lingo.  I love the line and my money is on them having made it up.

You'll probably find its " a painting by Da Vinci on my door...." Legend has it (well, THE legend told it ) that he wrote it with Rhino when in a hotel up a mountain overlooking Lake Como a few years ago when Quo played in that neck of the woods. Whether that's an urban myth or something approaching the truth, I have no idea. But it does sound plausible. |

As a footnote- they were supporting Deep Purple at Como and Francis’ mike packs in during Caroline. He goes over and continues from Rick’s mike. |
