Another expression brought back by British troops in the last days of the Raj - Deolali was a transit camp in India where UK soldiers awaited transport back to Blighty when a lot of them were going barmy with the monotony of long service in a God-forsaken outpost. "Doolally" is a corruption of Deolali. My dad also used to say "imshi" (go away), another import from the sub-continent.
