Funny how words and terms are so different from the UK & US!
It is said that the UK and US are two countries divided by a common language!
Like "Curry", I take it is some sort of food or maybe a drink.
It is an 'Indian' meal - there are many 'Indian' restaurants in the UK, albeit most of them are in fact run by Pakistani or Bangladeshi people.
And the term "dog-leg", which I am guessing is a turn to the left.
No, a dog-leg can go in either direction.
And then "Row homes" and "Terraced homes"...... a "row home" is a row of narrow homes three or more built side by side without any space in between all facing the street. There is usually an alley (close) that is in between each group of homes. They are long and narrow and have a small yard
There's another different word. Here, a yard is always paved or tarred. What is called a yard in the US is usually called a garden here.
in the back of each home with a small street, sometimes. They are not the safest homes to live in, because if one home gets a fire, it tends to spread to the next home, and of course the middle homes don't have any side windows, just front and back.
Yes, that's much the same. In cities there are often whole streets of terraced houses. Sometimes the whole terrace is designed as a unified whole - there are examples of this in the New Town of Edinburgh.
Well, anyway, thanks for the information.
I hope I didn't take you out of your way
No, we go there most Mondays anyway
or put you in harm's way for the evening.
Harm? Good grief, no, not at all. It can get a bit rowdy with drunks in Elgin High Street on a Friday or Saturday evening, but the chance of two people coming to harm on a winter Monday evening is so negligible that I wouldn't give it a thought!
