It seems to be becoming more common of late. Lucky if they even do a gig outside of London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, you tell them you’re flying into Edinburgh and they say “enjoy England”. No doubt you've also had the "so where is Scotland anyway?" conversation. I was fine with that to start with, as it's weird to expect everyone in foreign countries to know exactly where you're from, but after a couple of dozen times it started to get a bit surreal, especially considering how often people didn't know that Scotland was part of the UK ("I thought that was England and Ireland" being the most common response).

May be a case of me noticing it more as I get older and grumpier, but bugs me more than it should. They were always Spurs in England, at least in the Eighties. Tottenham was like their Sunday name; you'd only hear it on the Classifieds. Personally I think they should have stuck with Tottingham. Ossie was class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tottenham was like their Sunday name; you'd only hear it on the Classifieds. 1973, “Nice One Cyril”, by the Cockerel Chorus…uses the line “When the Spurs have the ball…”. The appellation Spurs goes way back, and the team was actually just plain Hotspur Football Club before adding Tottenham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburg is “Pitts-berg”…Harrisburg can be either “Harris-boro” or “Harris-berg” depending on the one you mean. The Edinburg in Texas (Edin-berg)certainly colours the pronunciation for any Texans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope you've performed your patriotic duty by casually convincing as many Texans as possible that a haggis is a fierce wee beastie that roams the misty glens of your homeland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely…a little, rotund beastie with legs on one side of his/her/their body longer than on the other so they can run fast along a hillside…and thus their tragic weakness, if you approach them from the correct direction, they fall down the hill when they try to run away from you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
