Cockney Rhyming Slang
According to the Cockney Rhyming Slang website, J Arthur Rank is officially only slang for Bank. And not anything else to be added to the words “Just nipping…”. Example “Just nipping to the J Arthur for some cash” and not in the context of “Just nipping for a J Arthur…”
So now you know. That clarifies it sufficiently for me. No question about it whatsoever.
What I didn't know was that J Arthur was part of the family that went on to form Rank Hovis McDougall

I quite like the idea of a letter before a name - like J Arthur, F Scott Fitzgerald, F Murray Abraham, J Edgar Hoover and L Ron Hubbard.
In fact I might try it myself - J. Dave Kpcv - it certainly gives it an air of class.......
Sounds better than just plain old Arthur Rank.
