During 2005/06, DfES defined a persistent truant as a pupil who missed 20 or more days classed as unauthorised absence. Children often refer to it as "doing a bunk", "bunking off" or "skiving".
'Bunking up' involves multiple (at least 2) people sleeping in the same bed and usually involves spooning in some arrangement (preferably the quad-spoon formation). It generally occurs between the hours of 1 am and 3 am after large quantities of alcohol and a long night of pesting
Sometimes the bunk up follows the age old rule of spooning leads to forking - however - it can be completely platonic.
The ideal number for a 'bunk up' is between 2 and 4 - however there have reports of a 5+ people in a spooning arrangements.
Common issues with 'bunking up' include over heating, a uncomfortable sleep and people getting handsey.
