Can anyone tell me whence the phrase:

"They're really very good, you know."

comes ? (Or possibly "jolly good".)

A quick google suggests many sources. I hear it said in a particular tone of voice and slightly plummy accent, which is suggesting sample/radio/tv to me, rather than written down.

For bonus points, why do I associate this phrase with [livejournal.com profile] mr_tom ? I have no idea.

Today I am listening to my nice new Lemon Jelly album, which I acquired when I was kidnapped by the HMV sale on Friday night. On a first listen, I'd give it a pretty amazing out of ten.

I also associate Lemon Jelly with Mr_Tom, because as far as I'm aware him saying he liked Lemon Jelly was my first encounter with the name. At the time I assumed he was recommending a citrus and gelatine based pudding product.
