Not that old. We still use it occasionally today. And we certainly had a "tuck shop" at school. It was where you bought lunch if not eating in the refectory. ie. sandwiches, crisps, pop etc. But its main sales were sweets including chocolate bars (bringing us back to Cadbury :-) Unusually, our tuck shop was run by the student body. The school prefects were the operating committee and responsible for finding volunteers to staff it and order supplies and bank the proceeds 9with the school secretary) -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
