This expression is used to show surprise as in: I didn't believe you would ever get that job.

For a non-native speaker these are maybe the hardest structures to understand. In "You never did" I personally miss a question mark at the end. It is hard for me to understand how someone would pronounce and stress this statement. By the way...this website is astonishing and amazing at the same time. Thanks a lot for what you do for us every day. Well done...
