This struck me as a slightly dated usage when I was 12, in 1964. It did not, however, strike me as absurd - we might have been still using it occasionally, but we were more likely to say "another chap", which in due course became "another bloke" as we sought to workingclassify our diction, in accordance with the Spirit of the Age.
