Favorite Brighton and Hove twitten.....

[Jam The Man]

I liked the Fishersgate to Old Shoreham Rd twitten walking by the allotments and electricity pylons. They crackled when it was raining.

Yep i know the one you mean...

It has to be the one where Jimmy and Steph had that brief encounter in the film of a different name. Off East Street.

great one and little known there always seemed to be rubbish dumped in front of the east street entrance.

brings back some great memories

I'm sure twitten is not listed in the dictionary.It's a sussex word though

Blimey! Just checked my OED and ye gads, you're right. It's not in there!

It is a Sussex word. In Yorkshire they're called ginnels (hard g) and other parts of the north ginnels (with a soft g)

Memories of:-

1. a good night out in Brighton?

2. a fine film?

3. an encounter with Ms Ash?

We need to be told.

Old Shoreham Rd to Dyke Rd that non-Sussex incomers have arrogantly re-named crocodile walk 2000.

and hence the name CROCS was born

That was the one I was trying to remember. I knew there was another name for them. Ned's at work so I couldn't ask him.

I've given the ginells example above although I spelt it ginnels.

 

[smudge]

In Lewes, Cabbage Walk. Pells to Landport Est.
When I was a kid at Pells School we used to stop & have a chat with a tramp called McKenzie who seemd to live on the stone bench in the wall & drank meths.
Nowadays he'd be victim of "happy slapping" probably.
Ah such innocent bygone days.

Shame, becuase it has to be the gayest sounding word in the English language.

"Coo-wee! I'm back from my evening mince along the twitten!" :safeway2:

"Still in common use"?! By who? OLD people? I was born and bred in Sussex and never once heard this word until people starting BANGING on about it on NSC a year or two back.
