hey all


What did You used to call your school lunch providr lol

i went to 4 primary schools and in early years of school i always caled it a tuck shop, which is darn right Aussie, but when i moved and changed schools i was lauughed at when i called it a tuck shop.

canteen sounds so crap what u think.

As "darn right Aussie" as you think it may be, like most Aussi slang, it comes from early English. My school in England was 400 years old, and I can guarantee the shop in the old section, had been called the "Tuck shop" for 300 of those....

it would be intresting to be in an american cafateria where they give you food on a tray though, like on the simpsons. i'm not sure if that realy happens though, but i'v seen it on a few movies.
