Chimney alcove :blink: :lol:
@Jp.......Yes I know that ffs :frusty: but 99% of the time when someone says "Alcove" they are talking about the resess next to or either side of the chimney. Hence me calling it a chimney alcove.
And what I said still stands.
Unless it fell down.
Jonno :cool:
131 people out of six billion also call it a chimney alcove.
Like I said, where I come from it's different.Quote:

I've never heard the phrase chimney alcove.
No big deal, we also called the kitchen "the scullery" where I grew up, ken.
@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 :P
Jonno :cool:
I've never heard the phrase dislay case. Is this some kind of Scottish witchery.Quote:

Normally shelves as well.
You put stuff in it.
Good stuff.
You've never heard the phrase chimney alcove because a chimney is never, ever, a recess.Quote:

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.Quote:

It's mostly self-serving pish anyhow.
To clarify things, it's often better to make them more easily understandable.Quote:

Yes, yes it does :)
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 :ermm:
Jonno :cool:
Perhaps clarify means something different in Sheringham.
Could that be it.
I most certainly did not.Quote:

Height. H-E-I-G-H-T.
As per your request via PM. :P
Some days I wish I still had my mod powers, I'd just edit and correct your spelling myself. :P
Exactly my point of what I just said to you.
At school we were taught "I before E eccept after C"
So please to be explaining that one someone?
And I still don't see how it matters.
Jonno :cool:
JP, stop pming Nikki about trivial matters.
Btw, Nikki, I'd correct JP's spelling too if I had the mod powers you previously possessed :dry:
It's a rule of thumb, quite a weird one actually.Quote:

I've seen 80 year old men who can still run 2 miles straight, lift heavy weight, and fight much better than 30 year old men. Gods I tell you...
Yeah.....kinda like saying all cars have 4 doors really is'nt it.Quote:

"Isn't" is a contraction of "IS NOT". The "o" has been removed. Thus, the apostrophe goes in place of the "o".
Your "Isn't" should really be punctuated, otherwise the sentence is nonsensical.Quote:

Doh. I did consider it after hitting the post button, though in laziness chose not to fix it. I figured Jon wouldn't notice, though I should have known you would. :lol:Quote:
