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.

    • my daughter would love some highlights done , can anyone suggest which salon and which hairdresser they would recommend for this ? thanks so much 
    • Hopefully starmer will follow and go
    • I've just had notification, as a customer, that EE are doing work in Honor Oak on Tuesday 16th (next Tuesday). This will also impact anyone with a virtual mobile operator who uses EE as their underlying operator. Just a heads up that service may be problematical then. 
    • Just seen the limping fox in my garden in North Cross Road. Didn't stay for long but looks alert, curious, lively, in good condition, apart from limp very healthy. Of course, having the an injured limb is not ideal but I wonder if stressing him/her by trying to catch it, which will be very difficult, is the best course of action. Edited to add could see no sign of infection, leg looked withered more than injured, maybe a birth defect? I don't know. Any way, is using his other rear leg well enough to rest his front legs on the window sill and peer inside my kitchen.
