    But do you have Cassels or Carstles in Spain @Nollie ?  ;)

    My teeth grind when Americans call a toilet a bathroom😬
    What do they call the room with a bath in it?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Castillo @Dovefromabove, with a proper Spanish accent!

    It's  'skon' @Skylarks. No debate.
    If people say 'skoon', they're idiots.

    If it's the place, it's pronounced 'skoon'

    Simple  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I thought it was how posh you are fairygirl, I'm definitely a "skon" with the jam on first !

    I just realised I wrote 'skoon' in the first sentence, when I should have put 'skoan' as  @Obelixx says.

    The 2nd 'skoon' for the place is right though - as in Scone Palace, or the adjoining village.

    For anyone who's now as confused as I am, a lie down in  a darkened room is the answer... :D

    'sgone' @Dovefromabove. Very good  ;)
