One upmanship

Puzzler, we had a garage pronounced GARage. Man next door actually a nice man, had moved from social housing to an owned semi and he said garADSHE.

That's real one man suppose riverwalk.

Starting reading this thread yesterday. Having a read this morning I'm reminded of the Class sketch from Frost report

How about the opposite:

.... mmmn, and I see it is also 100% re-useable...

Lucca that would be telling, but one of my uncles was called Sweeney Todd

We had a 'garridge' and were obliged to keep our bikes in it overnight. I can't understand why so many youngsters nowadays keep bikes outside (my GC included). No wonder a lot of them get stolen. I was reliably(?) informed that a great aunt whom I never knew had married the managing director of Johnny Walker. Not that my family ever felt the benefits!

We had a garridge but DH had a gararge!

I am as Northern as they come and have Southern GC who sit on the grarss take a Barth etc but I have always had a gararge.
Never a garidge.

I was told that to sound more posh you should speak slower and elongate the vowels. So grarss sounds posher than grass apparently.

Unless you're from Norfolk, Ellianne. Then you sound like a bumpkin. I should know!

Devon and Dorset have long vowel sounds too! Now where's my piece of straw?

And I trump all yours - I have a helipad -
Bought Easter Eggs for my grandkids - £2.99 each from Home Bargains, just thought I’d let you know.....

Ah she’ll be right mate. Haven’t seen what youse have here but you poms, it’s part of life, right? Jealousy’s a bloody curse mate.

You should speak without moving your top lip.

I was brought up saying neither garridge nor gararge, but simply saying the word the way it was spelt 'garage', with a flat open 'a' and no emphasis on the last syllable
