In the first question, it depends on the context. They could all be correct depending on who you are referring to. Without a context, it is impossible to say which is correct.
Also, for the second question, I am not sure what you mean by "broken order" but they are all common collocations except "fish and cheese". However, fish and cheese is not a "broken order" or wrong, it is just an unusual collocation.
"I hate fish and cheese." Nothing wrong here but it isn �t a common collocation which is I think what you are trying to get at? |

If they have the same father, then it �s "Jack and Jill �s father" If they have different fathers, then either "Jack and Jill �s fathers" or "Jack �s and Jill �s fathers" is correct. I can �t think of a situation in which "Jack �s and Jill �s father" would be used. Like freddie, I don �t know what you mean by "broken order". Bruce |

I �m guessing that what you mean by broken order, is something to do with not traditionally fitting together--in that case fish and cheese would be your "broken order" (all the others are traditionally seen as belonging together)--which Freddie probably rightfully called collocations.
For my US friends: Bangers and Mash "is a traditional British Isles dish made of mashed potatoes and sausages" and is also known as Sausage and Mash.
Cheers,

Bruce is right about the first question. Yes, on the second one, �fish and cheese � don �t go together, although they do taste nice together. I would add that we always say �cheese and wine � rather than �wine and cheese. � |

It �s funny, Lynne, that in the US, we always say "wine and cheese". Bruce |
