Hi Sock Monkey
Thanks for that. I think that might have been the origin but am not too sure. I suspect that given the large number of "rankers" and others who were old India hands you wonder if this wasn't an extension of their "patois".
"Bundook" to many was their rifle, "charpoy" (sp?) their bed.....
Thanks again for the daily smile when I see your avatar and so glad that you like Louis Wain too!
