Hi John I thought it came from the Harry Enfield "special" - Norbert Smith - A Life. The hour-long tribute to Norbert covered his film roles including 'Rebel Without A Tie' & 'It's Grim Up North' http://www.sendit.com/video/item/7000000018954 Now deleted but sure to turn up on Ukgold Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: John Milne To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land.

Where does it come from? When was the earliest use of the phrase?
