Like old jelly

Posted by janes_kid on February 07, 2003

This beautiful expression was used in an old 'Brit Com' apparently meaning, in a slightly amused and self depricating way, set in one's ways or stuck in one's pattern of behavior.

So the question came up; is this a British expression or did the writers put it in the script?
