Is it still in use in the homeland? Your shouldn't even in Derbyshire, it's a jitty. Don't DM me. Sorry, just seeing you have already been suitably educated on this point. I'll get back in my box.

BaaLocks Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 We should bring beck "chinny reck-on" complete with stroking of the chin. I think it would work well at PMQs or for football journalists to use in post match interviews therealhantsram and Chester40 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just seeing you have already been suitably educated on this point. I'll get back in my box. In the ghettos of South Normanton a jitty was a footpath between houses from one street to another. A gennal was the arched passage between terraced houses. Some old folk said ginnel. JoetheRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Said elsewhere I think...but Mr Nobody. What happened to him...he was responsible for everything at one time in our house. Never hear a peep from him nowadays! (As in...'Who ate all the biscuits ....Mr Nobody again...?' Miggins, Alph and derby8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
