Anyone chops their tatties on a bunker is mad to us. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257180 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 21:59:32 +0000 gembo 257180@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Klaxon's original photo is like a coal bunker. This would be out the back door for coal. Bit too small for a bike </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257179 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 21:51:10 +0000 steveo 257179@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bunker is definitely a worktop, cellar? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257174 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:49:28 +0000 gembo 257174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The dunny in Glasgow is when you enter the tenement and instead of ascending the stairwell you go down behind the stairs where there is a recess for tools and nefarious activity.</p> <p>Bunker is curiously a work surface in your kitchen in these lothians indeed.</p> <p>I noticed in stnhouse today a cafe has called itself The Sitooterie. That is a back porch. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257172 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:40:08 +0000 fimm 257172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My mother and grandmother used to refer to my grandfather's "glory hole" under the house as the "dunny" - it was a cellar but you didn't get into it from within the house, the door was outside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257167 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:20:33 +0000 Frenchy 257167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Clearly a bunker.</em></p> <p>That was the only possibility I thought of, but then I thought a bunker is a kitchen counter down this way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257158 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 17:03:09 +0000 I were right about that saddle 257158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>There must be a specific noun for these things.</em></p> <p>Clearly a bunker. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18014#post-257157 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 16:58:36 +0000 Frenchy 257157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There must be a specific noun for these things.

I know what one I <em>should</em> get but it's so expensive for something that at the moment I don't at all "need". </p>
