I was asking directions today to somewhere called Pepys Court.
I was in a discussion with the security on the gate, and they had never heard of it.
After much confusion it transpired that the security team all mispronounced the name.
I said it should be Peeps. As in Samuel Pepys. But they all pronounced it Peh-peas. They had never even heard of Samuel
Pepys.
Harumph. Grumpy me.
I would only expect a reasonably well educated person to know the pronunciation, and security guards don't often fall into that category.
