Pronouncing Brexit

I'm northern (Yorks, Lancs, various bits of Scotland) and I pronounce it Breksit. I thought Bregzit was a southern aberration ?

Now I'm trying to think of a word in which I soften x to gz......

Can we make that a thing on this thread, please, watermeadow?

Execute?

No. Execute is an exxy one. What about exam?

Eggzactly

I am afraid how it is pronounced is the least of my complaints about the whole evacuees.

As a northerner , I have to say That I also thought 'breg-zit' was a southern thing!

Well I’m a southerner who says Brekksit.. Nobody I know says it differently but I do hear Breggsit on TV quite a lot.
Eggsam amd eggsactly, though. Eggsacerbate, eggsample. Maybe it’s the following letter A thst hardens the X?

Agree, Maw ?

However it's pronounced, I'm sick of hearing about it!??(All the arguing on TV is getting on my nerves, I'd rather deal with a class of 5 year olds again ?)

I say ekksit but eggist. Both followed by I.

Who says 'I scream' instead of 'ice cream'?

We all do ?

I always add an 'h'....

Where do you put the ‘h’ Tegan ?

How on earth did “evacuees” appear in my post earlier this morning?
I clearly wrote debacle but oh no, iPad knows best apparently

I notice that Prime Minister is often pronounced as Pri- Minister. In this house Brexit is pronounced as clusterf*ck.

Bella; not saying . By the way, on the subject of pronouncing things, did anyone watch the programme onBBC4 last night about 'illusions'. It showed something called the McGurk [sp] effect where someone was saying bah bah bah, but then continued to say it but showing a face that was saying fah fah fah, and you could only hear 'fah' not 'bah' even though you knew it was 'bah'. Whole programme was fascinating.

Apparently it's Tony Blair's fault. According to Patrick Kidd, TB pronounces Brexit with a double gg.
