I upset a mate who was taking the P out of my pronunciation of garage. As in garaarge, where he says it is garige.


His comment was, "you wouldn't call a fridge a frage". "No I would call it a refrigerator", at which point he called me a rude name and stormed out of the pub. There is nothing wrong with a regional accent, but I hate poor pronunciation. Worst locally is the use of the word buzz when they refer to a bus.
