Sophistication
Yes, I've written a few derisory words about the American south in previous posts. But I'm also quick to point out that other parts of the world have much in common with Dixie. Case in point.
Sorry, although Wolverhampton and it's environs may be our "Dixie" even though it's North, it's still in the UK - and Jesus? Not in this "godless" nation!
While the paper may be Californian, the nuptials apparently happened in the UK. The happy couple seem to be "travellers", a subculture which is known for elaborate (and early) weddings, both in the UK and here in the US.
C'mon. Can you blame me for missing that paragraph? I was distracted by, uh, photogrammetrical analysis of the imagery. I kept wondering if there are boob-job surgeons who offer mother/daughter specials.
Living in a trailor in the UK means something different than in the US.
Even so, I live in a trailor in the US. And in the South. And are much better off than our brick house counterparts in our area. Why? Because while they paid $200,000 for their home and had to mortgage it, we paid $40,000 for a brand new home in cash. And have cheapter taxes. And home insurance.
Don't be ignorant to assume that trailer=trailor trash.

Am I missing something, or does she live in the UK? I feel a bit lost...
ReplyDeleteOops! My bad. I presumed that the wedding took place in California because the story appeared in a local Inland Empire publication. I've rewritten.

ReplyDeleteDrat, and I was planning on taking a vacation trip to scenic Wolverhampton, CA.

ReplyDeleteIt's like a Ken Russell nightmare in broad daylight! Holy moly.

I guess I ain't sophitikated enuf to see the connexion to the South.
ReplyDeleteIs that real? The article mixes American English and British English terms, and uses "dollars" rather than Euros.
ReplyDeleteI call HOAX.
England still uses the Pound, not Euros.
