No Rosi but as a Scot living down South I sometimes think I'm making words up that no one's ever heard off, that is until I go back home and then I think och I'm no so daft after all Norah |

My mum used to when we were kids and her mum is from Surrey so I guess it must be a Southern expression. My mum used to shorten it even further to 'bups' Claire xx |

Yes, always had soldiers with boiled egg, but I thought that that was a general (oops, no pun intended) thing because my husband is from Lancs and also had soldiers. Christina |

No buppy for me, ( Hampshire-born but with Welsh Mum) We did have 'soldiers' though. Mine were always bread but hubby said his Mum made them from toast. Interesting about a packed lunch. I've always called them that-..... packed lunch.. but here near Folkestone, my local friends call them.. Pack Ups. Gwyn |
