Hi

a Crispy Cob is a crispy spherical sandwich roll, usually freshly baked!

Thanks. Wondered that myself.

This show gave me an education in British slang/terms.

That reminded me of a Jewish Australian woman named Dita Cobb who was on various talk shows & quizzes in the 1960s & 1970s. She became friends with Zsa Zsa Gabor & regularly went to visit her in the USA.

After one trip somebody mentioned how much weight she lost. She replied "It's the food, I find American food inedible so I don't eat much. When I get back to Australia and the lovely crusty bread I just pack the weight on."
