It is a nonsense (think Lewis Carol) game from the British radio comedy 


being old to being decrepit. It is off the wall humour the same set of 
comedians that Monty Python came from.
That was the background. It is also a social signifier. (And make what 
you will of that.)
You may have noticed that we Brits like absurd humour and often pepper 
our speech with references to times gone by. This is a fine example.
