My second wife was from Manchester and said Ginnel with a hard G (Like gate), as a young un in Dinnington we would say Ginnel but with a soft G (Like gentle)
Never occurred to me they were different words, just the same one with 2 ways of saying it. there's thousands of regional examples of this.
Don't hear it said by adults though, I thought it was a kids saying (Remember children's hands being Dannies)
Anyway, I thought the video was sh1te. I'd rather have seen the ****agers at ARMC on advanc engineering apprenticeships that dancing in front of a fountain over and over.
Passage way isn't used anymore I take it
I once drove to Glasgow with a client to look at a job.
The caretaker of the building met us and showed us around. We asked where the passage way went and he looked at us with a puzzled look on his face. We describe what we were talking about and he called it a dunny.
