McGowan, Stuart & Robb on my Mum's side.
Hay(Welsh), Whitbread(English) & Thomson on the other.

All of my grandparents were born in the UK.

My Great Uncle,Robert Burns Thomson Whitbread died a few years back - he was the last to have Burns in there. My Uncle Bob is still around, but he's just Robert Whitbread.

I married a Thomson, but I think our kids'll turn out ok. :wink:

My Dad and I are really cheap, always looking to get a deal, but when it comes to family and friends money doesn't matter.

I have lots of relatives over in Glasgow that I'd like to visit. They've been here within the last few years, such a nice clan.

Something I just remembered, my Dad's cousin on the Hay side organizes this crazy event where you light a barrel of tar on fire and carry it around between different pubs! I think I saw it on tv once. Looked pretty dangerous! I hope they don't make me do that if I go for a visit!
