It still tickles me that America also had a cartoonist whose name became a byword for overly complicated contraptions, so "Heath Robinson" is one of those things you swap out in British English like "pavement" and "sidewalk", they are exactly equivalent

Heath Robinson lived on Southwood Avenue. Three doors up from our old house. There’s a blue plaque.
