How long do you plan on living?

[JPaul]

The alcove was usually in a corner and was used as a sort of "dislay case".

I've never heard the phrase chimney alcove.

I've never heard the phrase dislay case. Is this some kind of Scottish witchery.

It's like a sort of vertical radiogram.

Without the radio.

Or the gramaphone.

And it has more glass.

And doors.

Normally shelves as well.

You put stuff in it.

Good stuff.

[manker]

@Both of you...... You're hard work, an alcove can be a cupboard space or any kind of depress in a wall.
But when most people say Alcove they are talking about.......oh ffs I typed it above, I never said I call it a chimney alcove, I said that actually for clarity knowing manker is an office boy and would'nt understand

Look, I'm only telling you what we called it. I have never (before today) heard the phrase chimney alcove.

"Office Boy"

You are English tho' so I'll let you off.

You've never heard the phrase chimney alcove because a chimney is never, ever, a recess.

It's mental talk, any office boy will tell you that.

You've never heard it because I made it up, as I say, to clarify what sort of alcove I was talking about and it's location.

I have a few really good posts that I'd like to put on show in your dislay case.

Would you have room in amongst all the other good stuff. I can shorten a few of the more wordy posts, if required.

It's mostly self-serving pish anyhow.

To clarify things, it's often better to make them more easily understandable.

Making up mental stuff, like chimney alcoves, obfuscates the matter.

Yes, yes it does

[Jon L. Obscene]

I did.

Jp asked if it could be hieght.
I said it would be a short room, then thought to myself he (or you manker cos I still say you 2 are the same person from different time zones) could then say "No it could be an alcove under the stiars" , so thinking ahead I described it as a "Chimney Alcove" meaning an alcove by the chimney
So you see what is actually happening is you are now resorting to using words you know full well I have no idea what they mean and simpply arguin a silly point.

But hey, it's more entertaining than grandstand with Saint 'n Greevsy

[JPaul]

Perhaps clarify means something different in Sheringham.

Could that be it.

[JPaul]

Jp asked if it could be hieght.

I most certainly did not.

See, you're having a go at me for using words that you don't understand -- but you started it with your chimney alcove shenanegans.

Btw, since when have Wales and Scotchland been in different time zones

As per your request via PM.

Some days I wish I still had my mod powers, I'd just edit and correct your spelling myself.
