Ginnel?

Let's pretend I'm a soft, southern lass, (actually, we call it refined here) and I've no idea what you're talking about.

And no, nice girls don't hit.












But girls from Peckham knee you in the nuts! ;0P

[B00]

yep, nowt does mean nothing, as in nought i guess, but John is correct, nowty means bad tempered.

[B00]

sigh............

naught*

[B00]

ginnel-a small outside passageway.

[China Doll]

I am not bad tempered.

And I know what nowt/naught means.

But I'm still not bad tempered.

I'm mardy.

[carrust]

Does it also mean naughty if you have a strong London accent?

[China Doll]

Really Boobies??











What on earth were you planning on doing by my passage way Gromit??









The mind boggles! ;0P

[johnlambert]

off course I'm correct BOO, I'm a highly intelligent, articulate educated ex British Army senior NCO

*runs away crying*

[Gromit]

er,

'Mardy' means cry-baby around here, as in mardy pants. Surely you didn't that?

[China Doll]

Nah... I lived with a bloke from Derby for a while and he used to call me 'Mardybum.'

Apparently it means moody or grumpy.

Where's round here anyway?
