"Ah'm huvin' a sangwidge fir ma mah lunch"

My ex husband (Welsh) used to pull me up on sangwidge. I now say sandwich, and as a result, the Glasgow pronunciation is like fingernails down a blackboard to me.

It has been "sand-wedges" for me since hearing them called that by a pal who used to be a green keeper.

When I was a kid my best friend used to say "torlet" instead of "toilet" and "mullick" instead of "milk".
