'bet that worked a treat"

Posted by Ward Fredericks on December 05, 2003

In a transPacific exchange the Aussie blond(e) suggested that a bit of behavior probably was destined to have a positive result (I guess). She said "bet that worked a treat". I thought I had heard just about everything, but that is really a new one. Does anyone have an idea of its origin and how widely it is used today.
I have never heard it in the States, but I may start to change that right now.
