Derived from the cockney rhyming slang china plate = mate

May be a reference to a China Doll.
He must be sweet on you.
Either that or you look like his serving ware.

Do you belong to him?
Are you made of china?
Are you old?
If no is the answer to all of the above - sorry can't help!

Maybe he just wants to be friends!!

He can see you are a legend Dodds, despite not being very articulate he likes you. Think of a phrase that may wind him up.and call him that.
Me old china indeed. :)

Don't you recognise true love when you see it? He probably goes home and drinks himself to sleep every night because you won't ask him out or even toss him a kind word or two to give his heart some hope.

maybe one day you wore something that had the same pattern as his "old china" and he uses that name to greet you because he doesn't know your name.
