Rhyming Slang on the radio

Just been listening to Michael Rosen's programme "Word of Mouth" on radio 4 and he has been talking about
rhyming slang.................................. and the true meaning of a "J.Arthur Rank" was the topic! The presenter went to great pains to heavily emphasise that it was slang for a BANK, and he repeated it several times. Now this was news to me so I checked in the website Urban Dictionary and sure enough they give the meaning that I think most people know what a J Arthur Rank as!

So, if you have a J. Arthur Rank does that mean you are a Merchant Banker? Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh
