Fair play to you
Several years ago I was fortunate enough to get tickets for the Australian Grand Prix.
Arrived Thursday morning local time, so we could watch the practice sessions, qualifying and then the race itself before flying back Monday.
After my first night back, I woke up and went down to the kitchen for breakfast and my mum was there ready for work.
When I wished her a good day at work she looked at me weird and said "I've just finished work". It was gone 5pm and I'd been asleep for nearly 17 hours straight.
I was a teenager at the time, but hope you have plenty of recovery time if you're doing a whirlwind trip

Bath came first according to this. I appear to speak like they did 300 years ago! :oops:

There are at least 3 ways of pronouncing Bath. The posh denizens of that fair city say "Barth", while visitors from the North of England say "Bathh", with a short, clipped "a" and an emphasis on the "th". Local Bathonians, whose accent somewhat resembles that of Bristol, invariably say "Baaath", with absolutely no hint of an "r" in the middle. Watching rugby at the Recreation Ground, with thousands screaming "C'mon Baaaaath!" does sound like you're in the middle of a very large flock of sheep.

If you go literally by the spelling then it's got to be scone (rhyming with cone), if it was scone (rhyming with con) it wouldn't have an e on the end i.e scon. :p

I'll write this gag phonetically.

Before you've eaten it, it's a scowne, after you've eaten it, it'scon. (You may need to repeat it half a dozen times before you get it and realise that, even when you got it, it was too rubbish for words. You'll still use it yourself, though.)

Much better told than written.
