Anyone from the UK?

[Fufumberuk]

I've just been told by a delivery driver that I - and I quote - "have a windy back passage".

Too many baked beans for breakfast?

Too many baked beans for breakfast?

Too much wind blowing up the alley that separates my place from the neighbours. Never heard it called a back passage before!

It's a regular phrase round my neck of the woods. Your in danger of starting a debate if it's called a passage, path, kitty, ginnil or alley... Or anything else come to that

Now the real debate starts...

It's a gennel. Spoken as "jen-nel".

So many dialects in our county eh.... we say Ginnel (hard G) ut more often it's a "Snicket"

A couple of members of my family are from West Yorkshire and they say Ginnel. We must have this debate every few weeks.

I love the word "snicket"

 

[Fufumberuk]

Jitty with me

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Alley or passageway usually for me depending on if I'm further north visiting family or not

 

[Polranny]

It does have a certain cachet

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Jitty with me

Sounds like something you can get cream for at a pharmacy.

 

[lingus60]

Jitty with me

Is that a propostion?

 

[Kat0069]

We always called it an alleyway - I was brought up in Surrey.

Snicket is a brilliant word

 

[Polranny]

Is that a propostion?

No its a verb

The alleyways in York are called Snickleways.....

 

[Fufumberuk]

Is that a propostion?

"Would you like to see my jitty?"

 

[LeBaronSamedi]

Midlands here
Dull earlier brightening up and now becoming warm and damp as I read on

Warm and damp here, too. Really sweat inducing.

Everyday is a school day! The only time I went to York, I was too pissed to remember what things were called.

 

[Polranny]

It depends

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Typical. My body decides it doesn't want a good-ish day and makes me crawl back in to bed. I'll miss the football

Later guys and girlies.

 

[lingus60]

All the best Wonky!

I took your jam and rubbed it all over my body.
