Please settle a disagreement ? three in my family insist it’s Hermies, while I think it’s actually pronounced how it’s spelt! I could always ask the driver I suppose! It’s like Matalan a couple in my extended family insist it’s mataland ??

I recall the scorn of my teenage son when I referred to Nike ( pronounced NYKAY (in Greek fashion) shoes. EVERYONE knows its NIKE (as in mike.) I think he was about fourteen. Now fifty six.
