To steal next doors wheelie bin because they have ours <very childish emoticon>?

[DooinMeCleanin]

DH says he feels bad about it. I don't. They still have a bin, our bin. It is not my problem they love my bin so much they daren't put it out to emptied incase we take it back.

We paid for an extra wheelie bin. I have two dogs, a cat with ibs (who poos a lot) two children and very many visiting children. We go through a lot of poop bags and sweet wrappers.

We always had bin bags in the yard that we couldn't fit into our bin, so we bought the extra bin off the council.

Last fortnight our extra bin went walk about. Last night DH saw it in next doors yard. They must have been hiding it behind our extension, where we couldn't see it and moved it last night closer to the back door, ready to go out first thing in the morning I presume, incase we spotted it last night and took it back. Only it seems like they have slept in as our bin is not out, their bin is. They put their bin out when they moved ours in their yard.

So I have taken their instead. DH feels guilty. I paid for an extra bin, I pay extra to have my extra bin collected, if they want an extra bin, they can pay for one of their own.

And yes, I do realise how petty I am being.

Sorry, Gwen. You got in the middle of that

Look. The fact of the matter is that it is jennel and you all have to start saying it properly or I will bribe MNHQ into banning you.

I'm arguing with Hecate!

I' sure you're right Hec, I must have misheard. Apologies.

its a snicket

I hate you all.

I hope you're happy now.

its pronounced Ginnel look

but its a snicket in my world

and the one on corra is neither its just 'the backs'

The dictionary is wrong.

Will you all please stop arguing with me.

It's pronounced 'aren't Northerners weird?'

Or where I grew up a jennel which is a bastardisation of ginnel (soft j sound, not a hard g).

I am no longer engaging with any of you.

Between this and the banana, I have come to realise that you are all barking mad and don't do anything right.

I'm off to netmums.

No no, the snicket is much posher- it's more of a public shortcut between streets with a bollard at each end, and maybe some grass and bushes. You need to know where the snickets are so you can thwart the police-cars on foot.

It's a street that is at the back of the streets, ergo it is a back street. Or at least it was when we were young. Now we have alley gates, so it is an alley.

I've always said jennel, and I'm Northern for which I will not apologize, even though everyone on my road has a slightly different accent and we're all from the same area!

I love a good bin rage, you are not petty!

It's a fricking JITTY!

Is jitty pronounced 'jennel' because if it is Ferret, I agree with you.

And why did I say 'police-cars', when I obviously meant Black Marias?

SOH

Another vote for ginnel with a hard g. Snicket also acceptable. I'm from W Yorks.

OP - get your bin from their yard if you can get to it. If not ask them to do a bin swap. Not worth getting into a cold war over but you need to get it back.

hectate will be back

i went over to NM's looking at some BLW stuff, i pee'd my pants laughing was astounded that someone suggested chips as a good first food!

OP - you got that bin back yet?

oooh with the strike out one may thing that i had a more 'solid' accident!

It is a snicket or a ginnel with a g that rhymes with i pronounced phonetically.

Where I come from its an eight foot ! Go get your bin back !

Ginnel with a hard G ooop North. Yorkshire DH says its from the Norse/Viking language.

My gran was from Nottingham and used to call them jittys.

:o BoF

it's twitchells(open both ends) and jittys in notts.

Snickets have greenery attached somewhere and are rural. A Ginnel is not a back passage it is the passageway between two houses, usually with an arch, sometimes a Narnianesque lamp, and definitely a hard fucking G (take note Hecate)

They all just sound like fanjo euphemisms to me
