Another is 'Bach'

If you lot don't already mess it up by saying

'Back'

Then with the 'r', is sounds like

'Bark'


I hate to break this to you, but Beethoven* was a dog, not Bach.

* - And there is another odd spelling, but at least it is German.

Eh?

It's Bach with a soft ch like loch isn't it?

Awkward grammar and pronunciation reminds the oiks to know their place.

Yes, but I was talking about 'them down south' who seem to have messed it up

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Christopher Froome's surname is actually pronounced like Frome.

Placenames - Shrewsbury is pronounced "Shroosbury" by nearly everyone apart from folk on the side of the river my family were from, where it's pronounced "Shrowsbury" (ow as in Throw). Also Altrincham, which is pronounced "Oltringum" (short o as in not), and phonetically by a lot of people who've not heard it pronounced before. I also notice that the current set of automated station announcements pronounce "Sandbach" as "Sandback", which is incorrect.

 

[jonny jeez]

If you are an oik then you say

'Marleybone'

If you are posh, you say

'Marilybone' or 'Marillebone'

Apparently anyway.

I just call it"the high street".
