I don't know if this is a suitable area to ask but here goes.

Once again My daughter is looking for information for school, since you
are a creative lot this seems like a good place to start.

Katherine needs catchy or creative names for the school tuck shop. I suspect
there is a Moro Bar or someting as first prize for this and if your
contribution is selected I will let you know how it tasted.

I will also post a summary of all ideas next Sunday.

Thanks, Paul

It appears that I have received a bit of Net Mail from people wondering what a
Tuck Shop is. So there is a puzzle.
I'm pretty sure folks from NZ, GB and Australia will know this.

I also assume we all know what a Moro bar is.

Cheers, Paul

Oh, when you find out please think about alternative, catchy and creative type
names for 'Tuck Shop'.

Here is the list of names received so far for alternate names for a Tuck Shop.
I recieved quite a few replies from folks wondering what a Tuck Shop is. Well
it is the common name here in NZ for the School Cafateria. Our local College
has just built a new one and is looking for a new name to go with it.

Gobblers
Face Fillers
School Snack Bar
The Junk Shop
Play Lunch Place (hmm, maybe a bit uncool :-)
Frier's Tuck (if they sell fish and chips)
Pit Stop
<school-name> Eatery
Stomach Stop
Cafe School
The Caf (no 'e' on the end)
Stomach Fillers
Calorie Counter
Snack Shack
Moro Bar

Thanks to all who participated and I will let you know if any are seletected.

Since the OP is from 1995, how about Ye Olde Tuck Shop.

Oh, you're still talking about *that*?!? :-)

I was just responding, as I very often do, to the last two or three
chevron levels. I should snip more.
