What does this use of "carpeted" mean?

From NOAD:

carpet verb ( -peted , -peting ) [ trans. ] ... 2 Brit., informal reprimand severely.

Presumably this comes from the expression "calling [someone] on the carpet."

call someone on the carpet informal severely reprimand someone below one in authority : she might have called the accused person on the carpet. [ORIGIN: from carpet in the sense [table covering,] referring to ‘the carpet of the council table,’ before which one would be summoned for reprimand.]

My understanding of carpeted is this: you are called forward to stand in the front of the room while you are given a reprimand and probably made to feel very small in front of onlookers, although you could be called to the boss's office and likewise in private be carpeted, where you stand there and are given a telling off. It would be interesting to know how often and in what areas it is used. E.g I am from the Borders where it is sometimes used.
