I did not know this...

Origin of "Bob's Your Uncle":

Meaning: "there you are", "you're all set" and originally "you've got it made."

According to the Word Detective:

It's a catch phrase dating back to 1887, when British Prime Minister Robert Cecil (a.k.a. Lord Salisbury) decided to appoint a certain Arthur Balfour to the prestigious and sensitive post of Chief Secretary for Ireland. Not lost on the British public was the fact that Lord Salisbury just happened to be better known to Arthur Balfour as "Uncle Bob." In the resulting furor over what was seen as an act of blatant nepotism, "Bob's your uncle" became a popular sarcastic comment applied to any situation where the outcome was preordained by favoritism. As the scandal faded in public memory, the phrase lost its edge and became just a synonym for "no problem."

The problem with dunking Hobnobs is that all the bits fall off and sink to the bottom. I prefer the classic Rich Tea, or maybe a Kit Kat when I'm feeling adventurous. :wave2:

Sky has around 9 million subscribers, there are around 25 million households in the UK.

The majority of people still only have access to the "terrestrial" channels (though increasingly it's via freeview so we have 40 or so channels) so the majority of poeple in the UK (myself included) have never seen her in action
