I wish she'd stop describing the shiny finish as "payn-tent".

Another mis-pronounciation that gets on my wick with AY is Sheer for Shea. It makes me want to throw something at the telly.

I used to call it that when I was little and a lot of people do around here - I wonder whether it's a northern thing?

You know, I was thinking the same thing. I am from the North East and, though I say patent I have heard many people saying paintent. Funny that!

I live in Derbyshire and loads of people say it like that! Mind you loads of people also say thee-etta instead of theatre - which I think's fine but some people get really gnarled up about!

 

[MrsRosie]

Yep, am from the North East too and pronounce it like that too!!

Ali is from opp north isn't she? So yes you might be right about the northern thing.

It's a bit like her 'pewer' for pure. 'mebby' for 'maybe' - all more pronounced than they were when she first started presenting....

[ERICS MUM]

Oh, in that case I forgive her. My mum is from Derbyshire and she says a few "odd" things at times!

Sorry Mrs Rosie, I was more pointing out the fact that she is more pronounced than she used to be ! I do remember her and Lavers always having discussions about 'Mauve' - she used to say it 'morve' and Lavers always insisted it was 'move' !
