rgs, Do you know which is more correct, ginnel or snicket? I will admit to having to message my mate from Sheffield on that one.

"the lad" is an image of the character Billy Casper from the 1970 movie Kes (based upon a novel of the same name). Contained the best football match ever. Contained some of the best one liners ever. Eg, "as tight as a Scotsman with no arms throwing money around"

rgs, Do you know which is more correct, ginnel or snicket? And if you can answer that, perhaps you can tell us the correct pronunciation for "scone"? And should one put milk in before or after the tea? To be honest, I'm a little surprised I don't know the answer to this, my being an expert on back passages. It's pronounced Scon.

So what then is a lemony snicket? I don't think they have lemons north of the Watford Gap, so it can't be a citrus scented tight passage. Lemony Snicket aka Daniel Handler.

Oh ffs, everyone knows you dont put milk in tea, youre not a southern softy are you? God help you if you ever stop at some of those truckers stop like Scotch corner etc etc and ask for milk, they serve you stewed tea you could float ten bob bits in, woe betide you if you ask for sugar. 555.

Ginnel is a passageway between 2 houses, a snicket is a narrow alleyway. You still haven't explained what a lemony snicket is. Sounds tempting whatever it should be.

Lemony Snicket is the pen name of American novelist Daniel Handler (born February 28, 1970). ... Lemony Snicket also serves as the fictional narrator of and a character in A Series of Unfortunate Events as well as the main character in its prequel, a four-part book series titled All the Wrong Questions.

I did my basic training at Catterick Garrison and had several hundred Geordies for company. They all had a penchant for Newcastle Brown and super sweet tea, the jocks had a name for it that I can't quite recall, gun metal or similar, it put me off tea for two decades or more, it was like like drinking syrup.

Not exactly that rgs, guarding the tank park in County Tyrone at 3am in the snow and freezing cold seems more like servitude than service.

Reminds me of the time the water in my flask was frozen while having fun outside, or having breakfast of bread and salami which had been outside all night. BTW walking my dog around 7AM this morning and being shirtless I did feel a wee bit chilly. Can't have been more than about 20C. Suffering
