I'm just wondering what percentage of CP members can't pronounce "Cymru". I'm betting that the number would start with a lot of nines.

not the aquatic mammal types, or though that might be more appropriate if they were playing Japan or Norway!

It would depend a bit on what's acceptable I suppose. If I were to pronounce it like the Toyota, but with the 'R' I' m used to in Sweden, would that get accepted? But I suppose I would be cheating, I've been to Wales.

I shall leave it to our man on the spot, Griff, to fill in the details, and only say "Kumbaya Revisited".

Don't worry. He was taken out by the Pronunciation Unit and shot shortly thereafter. There is no excuse for mispronunciation at the Beeb. I once read Donal as Donald in a piece I used to do for Radio Berkshire (in its first incarnation). Fortunately it wasn't live or I might not be here to tell the tale. I still bear the scars. :shiver:
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Ack, the Beeb's had a regional-accent fetish for the past decade or so. Half the presenters talk like they were just let out of borstal.

This was actually about 30 or so years ago, as it was on a children's TV show. When my children were of an age, and the eductation experts decided that there was no need to teach anything any more.
Oh, I was caught at just the right time, for the "them who can't" idiots. I could read and write before I went to infant school (not quite as well as I can now, but I got by), but the "them as can't" geniuses decided that that was the year they were going to use ITA, a completely ridiculous not-at-all-phonetic-really written language to teach children to write. I was taken out of the school and packed off to public school, after I took a hand-made Mothers' Day card home that my mother couldn't read. f*****g morons. And I wrote left-handed, before going to school, but they forced me to write right-handed, so my handwriting has always been terrible. f*****g, f*****g morons. The only people more stupid than teachers are their students -- and that's the teachers' fault!

Only one person ever tried that with me, but I politely refused.
But when you're only five years old, you don't realise that teachers are morons, so you do as they tell you.

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

Personally, I've always found something sinister about lefties. ;-)
