I forget which one. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50537#post-145727 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:56:58 +0000 The All New Jeni B 145727@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep!!<br /> Whenever the golf is on in these parts, they talk of 'Carrrnoustie' instead of 'Carnoostie' and 'St ANdrews' becomes 'SAINT Andrews'. There are many, many more, and predominantly place names, but this is not a problem with just the national BBC presenters, but also BBC Scotland presenters, who should know better. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50537#post-145722 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:20:44 +0000 MADJEZ 145722@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>With the news that the Ford plant at Southampton is to close I like most of the population of the South will not so much be mourning the job losses but celebrating the end of the irritating BBC South pronunciation.</p> <p>Every time they mention the factory we are told of the 'Ford traarn-SIT plant' instead of Tran-zit as it's pronounced by everyone else on the planet. This drives everyone up the wall. Anyone got other (particularly BBC) stupid pronunciations that irk them ? </p>
