Tee hee hee. When I go through LHR I say I'm headed onward to Scotland.. and when they ask where I'm headed, or staying... well... an American trying to pronounce Scottish place Names ( or Welsh ) is torture... and since they usually can't pronounce it correctly either... well... things generally move on rapidly from there!
