posh, dosh and nosh

I think I know posh and its origin (Port Out, Starboard Home) but can anybody tell me where dosh and nosh come from? and confirm the meaning: I think dosh is money and nosh is food? Thanks.

Alleyways

How many more local words are there in the UK for an alley. I know of ginnels in Yorkshire and Twitchells in Nottinghamshire. Do you know any more?

Alsatians v German Shepherds

Is there any difference between an Alsatian dog and German Shepherd dog. I have believed it is one and the same, but still have not found a perfect answer for this.

Staying in Dublin

Hi, can anybody recommend a decent hotel in Dublin? Nothing to fancy, just for a couple of nights. Something central would be good (I think.. I'll leave that up to you). Cheers
