“Many years ago I’d have given anything for a snog up the Ginnel”

[-SharonA-]

We don't have ginnels in London. The best is a snog behind the bike shed!

[bobbinwales]

I thought the same as you bobbi. Mary's good at these oneliners

[LeonBlank1995]

Have you noticed how black Fizz's teeth are on the bottom row?

[maggiebee]

What's a ginnel?

[royfromaus]

The gap between houses

[Bobbisox1]

We don’t have a Ginnel here either Sharon,I’ve been to Corrie Ginnel, you can spread your arms and touch each side it’s that narrow , I reckon a kiss up the Ginnel would be nigh on impossible :0))

[Bobbisox1]

Maggie it’s the back lane

[Bobbisox1]

Roy, there’s no gap between houses in Corrie

[royfromaus]

Back lane?

It's the gap between rows of terraced houses.

[royfromaus]

Maybe the ginnel was from her past when she lived in a terraced house?

[Buenchico]

>>> It's the gap between rows of terraced houses

. . . or any footpath that's not alongside a road. (At least it is in Sheffield, where I lived for 20 years. It might cut across allotments, or pass between industrial buildings, but it's still a 'ginnel').

[Bobbisox1]

Hilda always referred to the Ginnel , it’s the gap/ lane between two streets

[maggiebee]

Think that's what we would call a close in my part of the country. Close can be the entrance to a tenement block or a narrow path between two buildings.

[Bobbisox1]

Maggie like the Broons? ;)
No it’s a narrow lane running between the back of two rows of streets

[maggiebee]

Thanks Bobbi, can't think what we would call that - maybe just a lane or wynd.

[Bobbisox1]

We’d call it a back lane Maggie :0)

[Captain2]

Not necessarily just the lane between back-to-back housing but any narrow passageway between buildings really.

Dialect speak for 'channel'

Round here a ginnel is called an entry. The path that leads to the back of the house

[richtee]
