Tuck in is like "eat up". According to the British boarding school books
I used to read as a child, children will be sent to boarding school with a
pile of "tuck" - or goodies and snacks, homemade cakes and the like, and
they would have feasts eating their tuck in the middle of the night. Here
in Oz, we have tuckshops at schools - we don't have cafeterias typically,
just a tuckshop where hot dogs, sausage rolls, meat pies, sweets, potato
chips, fruit, drinks, etc, can be bought.

That article in the Guardian, ends with 'tuck in.' Anyone know what that
means (other than the obvious)?
