    Is the narrator a relation of actor Donald Sinden?

    Is there something wrong with the internet or did I hit the wrong button? I've already replied hours ago, "His son, also an actor, died young." But your comment is still in my inbox! Weird!

    I don't mean he really had a weak memory, but that he wrote like a person who did, which is, to me, very endearing and delightful in this world full of people wanting to present themselves as know-it-alls through checking, pruning and polishing, which most of us do.

    How does a word/phrase become an idiom? It starts from a region and gains acceptance universally. As long as its meaning comes across, does it really matter? 😉

    I have always heard it as a sarcasm’yea!…and with bells on’ to denote that i won’t be doing that request:)though maybe i confused that with ‘….with knobs on’ ? ‘bells and whistles’ i have heard as someone has a good job as the pay includes all the bells and whistles( house and school fees) . Been away from uk for 40 years so not hearing these on a daily basis:)

    As a Canadian and native English speaker, I would look at you funny if you said this in modern times. It is too wordy and a bit old fashioned. Maybe this is a common phrase somewhere, but I have never heard it. I'm guessing its a Brit thing.

    This video clearly states that it's an old-fashioned way. Though not very common these days, you hear it frequently in old British dramas. 😊
