    A particular British Idiom. It really means "I have a complete lack of interest whether this affects you or not" Example: "May I have a cup of tea and a cheese sandwich" "Sorry, we are all out of cheese" Now they are not sorry at all, but they can hardly say "Tough Sh*t, no cheese".

    This could also be read as "I apologize for not being able to serve what you requested for". So, "sorry" here makes a lot of sense.

                  Why should you be sorry if he gave you the wrong answer :-)

                    There are a few "greasy spoon" cafes in and around Crawley where they probably do say that.

                      Probably so far off course this might be an MH370 answer: Where you will find Ashes: FIREPLACE or FIREGRATE It fits up to a point but the solution I can't see if I'm on the right course or not.
