Porsche or Porsche...er?
« on: 01 April 2008, 22:35:46 »
How do you pronounce it? Porsh or
                                      Porsher?
   Scon or scone?
Despite the spelling the correct pronunciation is "scon" & i don't put an "er" on the end of Porsche despite owners affectionately calling them "Porkers".
    Probably a matter of opinion, just curious! ::)

LOL, one of my collegues has a Boxster.  Not sure he drives it to its potential, I suspect it more to impress the ladies....

Barrrrth and Shrowsbury for me.

Also, being a Buckinghamshire boy, we are missing several letters from our alphabet, such as H and T....
