Dal, Dahl or Dilly Dallying.
Not just a new street in the Wallaceville Estate new housing area, but a street which will be the major linking street to a 152 housing precinct: Dahl Drive. Yet to be signposted.
I first thought: ah, it has been named Dahl because it is an Indian word meaning a type of food/meal in splendid recognition of the many people from India or of Indian origin who live in the Wallaceville Estate and in The Reserve - around a quarter or more have links to India - but no probably not.
The Indian word is spelt Dal. Dahl is a Germanic word meaning dale/valley.
Sorry. Dal would have been a good name. And I love Indian food.
But hey, there is still a chance that the naming of this street may be Indian cuisine afterall as dahl is an alternative spelling for dal.
Or are we just dilly dallying around.
