How do you pronounce it then?

Jay-cub round here [in my northern accent]

Same. It's what I was going to type but the more I tested the more I confused myself 😂

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 17:46

I get so confused when people try to explain how they pronounce things 😂

But what's this alternative pronunciation?

I can't think of any other way to pronounce Jacob other than Jay-cub.
I'd also sag Cay-leb although I have heard quite a few say Cay-lib.

However I'm Scottish and we usually pronounce things exactly as they're written

Is it cob or cub …😀

I’d say jay cub

No, that's what Sarah is saying.

TellingBone · 07/03/2025 18:29

Oh I see! I hadn't noticed her doing that.

Still wondering about the north v south thing though. 🤔

No, that's what Sarah is saying.

And charity!

It's Jacub down south... so I thought it was a northern thing, but appears not! Although the cub is pronounced slightly different to if I was talking about a baby bear. I'd say Cay- leb though.

I was on a thread once where it really kicked off over somebody saying they pronounce bath "barth". A certain poster wouldn't have it and just kept saying there was no r in bath so you couldn't describe the sound in that way 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I really laughed a few weeks later when I had Towie on with subtitles and the girl from Newcastle said she'd been learning to say "barth" in an Essex accent and the subtitles spelt it that way too 😂😂

I suspect she did a bit of porn in her younger days to earn money. It’s come back to haunt her. Someone has found out and is blackmailing her.

Ooh maybe …Manpreet’s got her stethoscope out

JewelleryCat · 07/03/2025 19:34

Oh there’s Ella

strugglingwithlife · 07/03/2025 19:35

Eric will be heartbroken if he finds out Tracey is stealing from him

PrincessScarlett · 07/03/2025 19:35

Oh it's Ella. I thought she'd left 🤣

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 19:37

Vic is flush

strugglingwithlife · 07/03/2025 19:38

What a twat

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 19:38

Oh dear Sarah

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 19:41

Manpreet looked really happy leaving the pub the other night but now she isn't

TellingBone · 07/03/2025 19:42

Ooh well done @Bignanna

Blackmail it is

OP posts:
marshmallowmix · 07/03/2025 19:42

Ooh err!! Naughty Manpreet 🤣

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 19:48

I guess the writers have been following Rebecca Sarker's Instagram account

strugglingwithlife · 07/03/2025 19:51

Aw poor Sarah 😔

strugglingwithlife · 07/03/2025 19:52

I'm sorry but I just can't ever take April seriously, she looks about 12

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 19:54

Vanessa banging on about all the things they were going to do is getting on my nerves. They wouldn't have done any of them!
