To be honest it's one of those derogatory names used within the British Armed Forces to refer to any group they perceive as less fortunate than themselves, like trogs for the Welsh, Haggis Bashers or Bogtrotters, self explanatory, Cloggies for the Dutch, several racist terms no longer usable for South Americans, Italians and the Spanish.

I understand the term "Okie" can be used in a similar derogatory sense.

It's a facet of the built in English inferiority complex, they know they're inferior so they try to put everybody else down!

Worzel Gummidge is awesome.

A favourite in this house when the children were small.

Thanks Bee, and agricultually based marriage in the West
























Thanks a lot Bee. An agriculturally based marriage in the West Country sounds like it might work. Actually I didn't find the accent all that provincial.
