Gincy signifies the highest approval of a person or thing.

I'm cut to the quick, Moos.

I've heard different accounts that the word refers to an old sixpence or possibly the half-crown.

My sorces were the unimpeachable old blokes in the pub.

In which case I apologise unreservedly, and withdraw my objection. Please accept this tosheroon in recompense for any hurt or outrage caused. Especially since you have old sorcerers as your sauce.

    • Nothing I can see to the contrary on the Companies House website.  But their licence expires in four days, so you might want to check that  some time.  https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/scrap-metal-dealers/registration/E5019-879385-S/
    • Maybe, as there are 7 of them, the front one could be Chris Adams and they are here to save the East Dulwich townsfolk from the gang of bandits led by Calvera 😅 Although I suspect that there maybe a problem further up route and they are waiting for it to clear. 
    • Is GH Metals Ltd. still trading? I have tried all 3 phone numbers, but nobody is picking up.  If closed, any recommendations for other scrap metal merchants near by?
    • It's great that the relatively new type garden bags seem to be a lot bigger than the old ones, but has anybody else found that they disintegrate in the rain? I have two full ones in front of my house (too small to call the space a garden) and  they both  seem to have developed large holes when they got wet in the recent heavy rain. They mostly have prickly rose prunings in, which doesn't help.
