As a Brit, I will confirm Lyle's interpretation.
Cockney rhyming slang can get really difficult when only the first word of the rhyme is used.
plates = plates of meat = feet.
When you get into a slang derivative of the rhyme like "seppo" it's really tricky 
I don't think Seppo is meant to be really insulting. Just mildly.
