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.

      Another recommendation for Adam on the Dartmouth Road. Have been going there for years. I will never go anywhere else (unless I move home to somewhere far away!) No faff, very reasonal price and nice atmosphere 👍

      Do air purifiers work?

      By kh71 · Posted

      Thanks so much I’ll try that too… might still try getting hold of an air purifier as well if at all possible - want to try cover all bases!

      The 185 is often the same. But that's why buses sometimes (and annoyingly) stop to "regulate the service". To be fair, it's often due to traffic conditions. If there is not much traffic, the one behind catches up with the one in front.

      I imagine this is because of the average  additional time involved, due to the styles. You could have asked the reason? I will ask, next time I'm in there.  Many salons have this differential pricing.
