Yes, they have got ginnel Garinda
.. look again, narrow passageway between buildings.
They ignorant in London .. derives from Gennel .. seems O.E.D (don't know what this means) goes back as far as 1669 .. so my Coronation Street book on Street Talk says.
Many happy memories of these passage ways ... 'cept now just full of dog pooh now. ' cause dog owners think we can't see 'em there ..
