Favourite Road In Brixton.

[Orang Utan]

I want to know if they're streets

i reckon. what else could they possibly be?

 

[Orang Utan]

Thoroughfare ?

some streets aren't thoroughfares

 

[cuppa tee]

some streets aren't thoroughfares

which ones ?

 

[Favelado]

which ones ?

Cul-de-sacs?

 

[cuppa tee]

Cul-de-sacs?

........you can still walk up them and out the end you went in

 

[Orang Utan]

........you can still walk up them and out the end you went in

so? you cannot pass through some streets.

 

[Favelado]

........you can still walk up them and out the end you went in

If we can turn this into a fight it might be my pettiest one ever.

 

[Orang Utan]

i used to live on a street that was neither a thoroughfare nor a road.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Cul-de-sacs?

Mews are stables. Or were.

Keep the title as it is though if anyone wants to go off and start

Ok....... I can name a road that is not a street

 

[Orang Utan]

Mews used to be stables and their yards but now just refer to narrow little streets with poky but expensive houses on them

 

[Orang Utan]

Ok....... I can name a road that is not a street

yes, name any motorway!

Yes, but mews are now mostly private residences. You can park in them, you can drive through some of them, some are dead ends, so I want to know whether they're streets or roads or thoroughfares or what. This is important. Orang Utan needs to know

eta: OU has already stated that mews are "little" streets, so that's that sorted.

What about cul-de-sacs?

no, you can't have thoroughfare! Only street will do!

it's a street! I said! Some mews don't have roads and loads of them aren't thoroughfares

 

[Pickman's model]

Orang Utan you bloody pedant

You missed my edit!

What about boulevards?

 

[gaijingirl]

What about boulevards?

yes... we are awash with boulevards in Brixton!

 

[peterkro]

Place,covers Places and everywhere else.

 

[Orang Utan]

What about boulevards?

A French street with a wide multilane road

 

[Orang Utan]

Place,covers Places and everywhere else.

No, place could mean a room or a building, rather than a street

 

[leanderman]

Gardens

 

[gaijingirl]

I suppose that Brixton Road is a boulevard of sorts though... Brixton Boulevard?
