Yes...you're right with Duke of Kent...it means "bent" in rhyming slang. Also used is Clarke Kent. "Bent" is used here to mean either a law breaker or a gay person (not exactly derogatively I don't think, just an expression).....but why the connection with law breaking I don't know but there you go.
I guess you're spot on with Vauxhall cavalier and merchant banker. You could add "ginger beer" for good measure. Ha!
I'm staying in most evenings now until the weekend when I'll let fly again.....London doesn't half run away with your dosh if you're not careful.....you could soon find yourself boracic lint (skint) if you're inclined to profligacy. :-)
Nite!...I'm knackered now so off up the apples and pears with rosie lee
PS: London-speak is highly volatile and constantly changing...what a city! Cool!...but bloody expensive....nite!
