And no offense taken; Britain may be our sibling/mother/cousin (??) but the USA is our next-door neighbour and proximity requires a common language, although not necessarily common spelling :)<br /><br />Calling a garden a yard is better than calling it a meter/metre :Djenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-8779576802287457552017-06-10T19:13:04.350+01:002017-06-10T19:13:04.350+01:00Hell's bells Jenny! If I answered all your que...Hell's bells Jenny! If I answered all your questions in detail I would be here until midnight so I will just stick with the wall/fence issue. In England, a fence is made from wood or wire. A wall is made from brick or stone. Many of the drystone walls of Yorkshire and Derbyshire have been in existence for hundreds of years - requiring very little maintenance. They endure.<br /><br />Although my second picture shows a stone post it was only a structural device in past years when the moor was divided between two rich landowners. There are holes in that post and through them thick wires were once threaded.<br /><br />At the risk of offending you I would humbly suggest that Canada has adopted much of its questionable English vocabulary from American English. For example, you call a garden a yard! This is hilarious and so, so wrong my friend!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-8494742902389389182017-06-10T19:01:03.766+01:002017-06-10T19:01:03.766+01:00I have seen Laybower from every vantage point but ...I have seen Laybower from every vantage point but I think that this was the best position.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-59504398319937954392017-06-10T18:44:50.119+01:002017-06-10T18:44:50.119+01:00Love the views of Ladybower YP - many years since ...Love the views of Ladybower YP - many years since I went there.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-86153719698085795602017-06-10T18:30:53.454+01:002017-06-10T18:30:53.454+01:00What is the difference between a stone fence and a...What is the difference between a stone fence and a stone wall? You rapped me on the knuckles awhile back for calling a stone wall a fence! Please explain, along with a list of the pros and cons of each. Worth 30 points out of 100.<br /><br />Are you making up the following words? otherwise please provide full definitions of each: grouse butts, clough, tor, hordron. Where possible, please give the Canadian equivalent. Worth 40 points out of 100.<br /><br />Compare and contrast the squelchy bog and the top of the cliff, using the following words in your description: high, low, wet, dry, amazing, scary, good idea, bad idea. Worth 30 points out of 100.<br /><br />Seriously, though, sometimes the differences in language make it seem like we are not both speaking English! But the pictures -- well, they are in a universal language.

The proper name is Highshaw Clough but local dialect gives us Eashaw.<br /><br />The man was still alive. Ridge and other helpers carried him to a house half a mile away, and then on to Bamford Hall where he died two days later.<br /><br />The victim had been found lying about 40 yards (37m) from where a road bridge was later built. Remembering the murder, local people always referred to it as Cutthroat Bridge.<br /><br />The present Cutthroat Bridge was built in 1821. Another murder victim was found here a few years ago, minus his head. Two Sheffield men were charged with causing his death.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25550923616237516252017-06-10T12:42:06.474+01:002017-06-10T12:42:06.474+01:00Cutthroat Bridge?
