Or "Hock"

Agree on the Don and Dawn - took me a long time to work out what a friends mother was called!

Did you know that one of Queen Victoria's favourite wines was Hochenheimer Riesling, which she and therefore all England referred to as Hock.

True dat.

Thinking of the Canadian footballer, I realise that they cannot pronounce either Craig or Forest.

They are pronounced they way an English person would most likely say darn. A Canadian would say 'darrrn' Canadian is rhotic doncha know.

Pawn and porn, that's one us lot get wrong. We aren't rhotic enough with our porn.

Very good.

But I'd like to expand on Hock. Hochenheimer Riesling Eiswein later became popular in Canada (in very small quantities). This is the origin of the term "Ice Hocky".

Not true dat.

Old people often have a problem with "thank you" if you offer the simplest courtesy

Porridge. The Mrs pronounces it as 'porrrjjj'. Can't get it right for love nor money.

oh, Premier also...

dependent on the region i assume, but on TV i hear them talking about the Barclays "PRI-MEER" League

Irregardless.

It's not that they struggle with it, just the fact that so many of them insist on actually using it.

Street names.

Macdonnell they say as mac don elle with a rising voice at the end, as if they were small children mimicking a French accent.

Delhi they pronounce as Del High.

Yorkshire is York Shire.

It must be quite embarassing to not be able to pronounce the name of your own street.

WimbleTon.

Pasta. Come on, how can you get such a simple word wrong?

Maybe it's because they usually add some "eersistable parmezhan" to it.
