So you 'speeka de lingo' of London's East End too I see Geoff, not terribly surprising though as you are a fellow Brit. :o)

But for our non British group members demistification...

Rosie Lee = Tea
Dog and Bone = Telephone

also much other rhyming slang exists such as...

Apples and Pears = Stairs
Ruby Murray = Curry
Rub-a-dub = Pub, a public house, meaning a bar. 

There is more or less an entire language based on this rhyming slang and a google search will point you to a website which has much information about this Cockney cultural feature.

Many Blessings All.
