Re: 'On a point of order, Mr Speaker'
"Well I'm a Brit living in Britain, and I've never heard the term 'lappy' out in the wild. Indeed I've never heard the IT mob use it either and I expect I'd be despatched forthwith if I were to do so."
I've heard it used in the UK. Usually by people have laptops but don't use computers at work. I think it might be a "Facebook friends" type of shorthand thing. I'd not be surprised if it's used commonly in places like Mumsnet.
