My new neighbour took in my urban mac delivery today. She called round with it and said ooh Boden my favourite shop!

Anyway she said Bo-den, I say Bod-en.

What do you say?

Surely that would only be if it was written as Bodden, sorry Fimbo. Shit, what am I doing posting on a Boden thread

Fimbo · 05/09/2008 16:16

You can't be a true Bodenite then Fransmom {grin}

Johnnie Boden is the owner.

...okay, not exactly like that, but that's what goes through my head whenever I read the word Boden.

Fimbo · 05/09/2008 16:24

I say Velux and have 1.

I am Scottish though, so could be a regional thing
