I know bless 'em...but what really gets on my nerves are the English who try to imitate the Glaswegian way of pronouncing Glasgow by saying...Glass-gay....noooooo if you're going to try and imitate the local vernacular at least get it right..it's GLESGA!!!

Aye, Glesga! And Edinbra.

An English woman once corrected me when I said Greenock, telling me it was Grenock, like Greenwich. Em, excuse me! And I love how people who've never been here pronounce Gourock! Goo-rock. LOL. I shouldn't laugh though as I really butchered the names of towns here before I learned.
 

Back in the day, if I could have gone anywhere for a honeymoon, I think it would have to be Paris. Top of my list of sites?? The Louvre Museum;)

It was fun! We were there for New Year`s Eve and the park was open all night. The weather was great,as only Southern California can be in December. O.J. Simpson had just won the Heisman (sp.) Trophy and it was all the talk at Disneyland. He was everybody`s hero. Boy,how things change,huh?
 
Honeymooned in Monterey, Carmel, California on first marriage. Second marriage was 12 days on a 85 ft twin masted schooner sailing from one end of the Tonga Chain of islands to the other in the South Pacific.

I wanted our US friends to understand where we were Holly[otherwise it reads as Edinburg.]
 
My husband's friends and colleagues were very surprised that he splashed out on not one but two expensive hotels on our honeymoon as he has a reputation as a stereotypical tightwad Scot.

Here's the one where we stayed on our wedding night and he got the whole package - dinner, bed and breakfast. And our room was huge so it must have been a Superior Room. First time I'd ever seen a rod for warming your towels.

A rod for warming your towels? Is this a euphemism?;)
 
First marriage of 32 years which ended with my wife's death the honeymoon was in Monterey/Carmel, California.

Second marriage of 23 years which recently ended in divorce the honeymoon was in Tonga/So. Pacific
 
Another revived thread. Since we weren’t ever officially married we didn’t get a honeymoon but now I’m starting to feel ripped off and think perhaps it’s worth nagging about. :laugh:
Our first vacation together was a 17 day interior camping canoe trip complete with otters and portages.
