Tourists and natives alike are asked in this country to pronounce the

ten-daire a 5 pound note. Sensible answers were prohibited by
management.

The French kitchen equipment company Moulinex (which mum always said
should be pronounced "Moliknow") actually ran adverts where they
pronounced it "Moon-li-nex", because that was how most UK people said
it.

Ditto Peugeot calling themselves "Perr-jo".

Ness-ll.
