To think my in-laws' ways are not normal?

[Snoot]

Apparently I am wrong and they are normal in many ways, I just find them odd! A selection from this weekend:

Stewed fruit, served for pudding, is commonly served with weetabix on top if people are still hungry

Scone is pronounced like stone

A footstall is not a puff but a poof-ay

Spag bol sauce contains no garlic, salt, pepper, or noticeable tomatoes but contains kidney beans and is served with ketchup

I could go on!

What's wrong with clothes horse?

When we had one of these, we called it a clothes horse.

And this we called a clothes horse.

We havethis now, & we call that an airer!

Sorry duffle but I also speak French, and the peu in Peugeot is pronounced peu. As in, un petit peu. it's a puh (or per...We don't really have an English equivalent) sound, not a pew sound.

So there!

Also, I bet you say renno for Renault and not ren-olt. Or do you?

To be fair, the French butcher enough English words themselves.

I say airer,the shops around here sell airers but not clothes horses...
They look nought like horses do they

If you're not going to say perzho, then shouldn't you really be saying pewjyot not pewjo? After all it's jyograffee (geography)...

Oh well there is something called Philly Steak too, sure I've seen it on Man v Food.

Yep, here it is, looks like a heart attack in a roll.............I want one now!

Norf Lahndahn here. S'gone, Poooffe, noo-gah. Poofay made me laugh, it sounds so very Hyacinth Bucket

Things I know how to pronouce correctly, but can't bring myself to as I'd look like a plonker -

Chorizo
Moët
Belvoir

Moët is one I insist on pronouncing properly, m-wett. People love doing that patronising little laugh and telling you 'it's French, you prononounce it mo-ay'.

Foolz!

My aunt cooks beef to within it's life, it's the only instance where I ahve known a meat to be crumbly, dry and unchewable all at once . She also mashes brussel sprouts with butter.

In one place I lived in Scotland the name Farquhar was pronounced Facker, and people laughed heartily when I pronounced it Far-kwar

oh, there is a solicitors office in Dublin called Beauchamps, and I was heartily laughed at when I pronounced it all French like, and they fold me it was 'Beechams'. . Is that common knowledge? Was I just really poncey thinking it was French?

well, they didn't fold me, obviously. They told me. Through their laughter...

People who say scon and puff are common.

The Queen says scone not scon. Trufax.

I'm from Dublin treacle and I didn't know that, I would have been all Frenchy in my pronunciation too! There is a bar called Bruxelles that we pronounce as Bruk-sells. So wrong.

The Queen says skown?

I say skown but always thought it was the peasant pronunciation.

treaclesoda I only discovered the Beauchamps/Beecham thing recently and that was because of Connie Beauchamps on Holby City, they said her name then I saw it written on the office door

I have also been caught out by St-John Lewis being Sinjun Lewis.

I bet lots of people would have no clue that Featherstonehaugh is pronounced Fanshaw.

That's a trick used to weed to peasants from the poshos.

Well, it's now conclusive, I am a peasant
