In Britain we have gardens, not yards. Yards are for Builder's
Merchants, the Metropolitan Plolice, and for measuring things such as
cricket pitches.

Oh, I dunno. I suggest you enquire further about possible alternative
meanings of "I enjoy my yard" :-)

This being a respectable newsgroup, I shall not elaborate, but merely
refer you to the OED.
