I would have said “house”. Glass house (as in, inhabitants thereof not throwing stones), house cat and, er, back house..? Oh well. P’raps not eh.

An alley was old slang for a marble. Y’know as in’ hurry up, where are your alleys’ or, colloquially ‘depeche toi, ou est alley vous’. Impressed huh?

My Mum called them alleys when she was little.

Glad that’s cleared up.

well folks, the quizmaster says the answer is ‘alley’.

Now back alley and alleycat I get, but what the f*** is an alleyglass/glassalley.. ?

Unless they mean as in this dodgy looking band?

But I’d like to think not.

I’m not letting them get away with this.

Letters of protest should be sent to:

The Upper and Nether Poppleton Gardener’s Guild
That Shed near the school playing fields
Upper Poppleton
York
England

Don’t worry, I promise to put you all out of your misery when the almighty gardener’s guild quizmaster circulates the answers…

Has nobody got this yet? Its driving me mad.
Is it ‘less’ ?

Actually that’s pretty rubbish. Forget I said that, unless I’m right.
