Speaking Geordie #7

G is for GROOP. A drain or ditch. In Newcastle the Javel Groop was a narrow opening leading from the Close to the river. Originallyt it was the Gaole Grippe - the gaol ditch. Javel is a corruption of gaol.

Couldn't find a ditch so you get the office kitchen sink drain and yes it needs cleaned.
