Very good, but they haven't got 'ginnel'.

Which always made people laugh in London, when I said I'd just come from running up the ginnel.

Re: Lovely And Northern
 

You could have offered to take them up the ginnel. ;) :D

Re: Lovely And Northern
 

I can't type I'm laughing tears of snot.:D

Re: Lovely And Northern

Yeh, but nobody really asked from where the word derived .. I know, but you will have to say "pretty please" to Gayle if you want the answer.

Good link anyway Blackburn Raver .. now in me favourites .. x

Aaaargh - not just a native of Ossy, it's far more specific than that.

Re: Lovely And Northern
 

You'll have to change gogettagrant to 'The lady of the lamp':D

Will you also start carrying a small owl in your pocket Gayle?
:eek:

Re: Lovely And Northern
 

What's that owl about?

Yon mon mun fettle yon pon ferus else weel a nowt teyt toneet.

Re: Lovely And Northern
 

Yes, they have got ginnel Garinda :cool: .. 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. :D

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 .. :(

The Owl is about the original 'Lady of the Lamp', Ms Nightingale.
