In the area of England where the ad agency are based.

In related knitting-ripping annoyance, the way the McDonald's voiceover guy pronounces 'sauce' as 'source'.

Either or, Shirley? 

I say pork but the Mrs says pourk, I think most people I know would say pork tbh.

My wife is English, and doesnt like what she calls "gadgie" pronunciations.

Obviously it was an error to tell me, as I love to wind her up by chucking in Almonds, Films, and Modern (aminds, fillums, modren)

....but usually only if I have the trainers on or the car running !

She doesn't say "Rebeccar Adlington" or "ribenar" does she?? That would drive me absolutely batshit.

I still get angry when I think about John Motson screaming "DIDIER DROGBAR" on MOTD about 20 years ago. Infuriating.

Podcasts where someone on it has their phone on vibrate and keeps getting messages. I've checked my phone three times already listening to football daily.

I don't even have a SIM in the phone I listen to podcasts on.

I believe this is the new Chipper/Lorne sausage.

Castlecary Arches boundary again?

Nah...chipper and Lorne sausage are the correct terms and not open to interpretation - pork is a different animal (pun intended) in that it has 2 equally correct options.

I've asked an independent third party of it is chipper or chippy. 

Definitely chippy.

The English, Welsh and some Irish call it chippy - do you want to be included in amongst that demographic? No, I didn't think so. 

Chipper it is.
