veg-e-table

DirtyBlonde · 04/02/2017 20:32

Veg-tuh-bul

Why?

Trills · 04/02/2017 20:34

It's not people who are actually posh, it's people who are TRYING to be posh. Hyacinth Bucket types. They think that pronouncing all the letters is posh.

The first one. Brummie

Vedge-e-table. I'm clearly ostentatiously posh 🙄

ptangyangkipperbanguuh · 04/02/2017 20:38

Water those would be nearly all Scottish people then....
Wednesday has a d in it..

FWIW OP , I say vedge .

HostaFireAndIce · 04/02/2017 20:39

*Veggy-tubble.

I'm from the north west.*

Me too, and me too. I don't think it's a 'trying to be posh' thing up there.

Ptang oh no, Scots are in a class of their own. I was referring to ostentatiously posh English people.

Waterfeature · 04/02/2017 20:40

*southeners

ptangyangkipperbanguuh · 04/02/2017 20:41

I also say enviroNment and goverNment.
Am clearly a ridiculous twat.

ptangyangkipperbanguuh · 04/02/2017 20:42

haha Water not sure what 'class of their own' implies but I'll take it!

WhereYouLeftIt · 04/02/2017 20:43

Grin ptang

Waterfeature · 04/02/2017 20:43

See what I did there ptang 😜

CrackersDontMatter · 04/02/2017 20:43

Vej-tabul

ptangyangkipperbanguuh · 04/02/2017 20:43

Of course, as a Scot, I rarely talk about vegetables. Unless they're chips.

;)

AliceThrewTheFookingGlass · 04/02/2017 20:48

Veg-tuh-bul for me

The only time I say wed-nes-day is when I'm trying to remember how to spell it.

FatOldBag · 04/02/2017 20:49

Vej-du-bl

or vej-double

In the same way that Nat calls Artem a vegetable half way through this routine!

Mynestisfullofempty · 04/02/2017 20:52

Vej-tabul

icyfront · 04/02/2017 20:55

Could be a regional/accent thing. I pronounce it veg-t'ble, like most people round here. But my (late, lovely) MIL pronounced it veg-e-ta-bull, but she was Irish (and a great cook).

BewtySkoolDropowt · 04/02/2017 20:55

Oh thank heavens you got that clarified ptangyangkipperbanguuh because I was very confused as to my class status, saying wed-ens-day but veg-ta-ble!

ptangyangkipperbanguuh · 04/02/2017 20:56

I have arguments at work about jewellery.

And I say FebRuary too...
