Naw - just used by the heathens of the south. ;-)

Posh name is morning roll. Hence rowie.

Some cookbooks call them 'buttery rowies'.

"Wee chuckies" are small stones,

Not small piles of vomit then?

No, but both may be found in flower beds on Sunday mornings.

Owain

That would be a wee boak or boke :-)

Reminds me of a story a bass guitarist told me about E Clapton esq. Otherwise known as God..

Apparently he and another guitarist were at an airport with eric, who was pissed as a rat, or something and he threw up on the guitarist's faux tiger skin boots...

Vomiting became known a 'putting the stripes on the tiger' or just 'striping the tiger'...

I'm sure wee chuckies was a game we used to play with stones many years ago. Bit hazy on quite why though. i suppose the stones we used were shaped a little like egs. Brian

Huh?
