I've never heard ["much of a muchness"] before. Is that a common British

I've heard that one, but it's been years. I've only ever heard it
from a Brit or in a book authored by a Brit. I don't know how
common it is, though. The web site www.phrases.org.uk claims that
it's never really been common
(http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/251550.html).
I would say it's really quite a common phrase.
Pretty common downunder as well, although possibly less so now than
with my parent's generation.
