My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

YES! YES! YES!I've just been to visit some family in Benalmadena and I found that everyone was like this.
Thank you, I now know it's not just me that found it tiresome.

well yesus Scots like to argue, loudly. But mostly we speak quietly.
Upstairs from me, I have an old lesbian couple, one from here, the other Andalusian - she is incredibly loud, and even when talking, we hear every word she says. Worse when she's on the phone, or arguing, cuase the decibel level almost doubles. Stupid woman.

I was lucky to have the use of a little car,which I used to venture up to the very top of the nearest hill. There I found a small village that wasn't full of english, and also a building site.
It seems that most of Benelmadina is a building site, actually.
