together with his famous "F" word. Also featured on the wall is a copy of a self portrait holding his banjo). The banana is a reminder of the banana boots he wore with added bells as he was sometimes referred to as Billy the Jester (with his stripey leggings), also a teapot spout which refers to his famous quote - "Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosy ... doesn't try it on."
