Olde term
On the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea in the Paris of Kirk German is an area:
Quote:
And getting more on track, "Bantam" as in American Bantam Car Company of Butler, Pennsylvania, who produced the little Austin Seven under licence/license, produced their stab at the military utility. The word "Bantam" means of course a small breed of chicken....so that explains the connection. |

I'm off the bed! The Rover Car Co Ltd produced what they called the Land Rover and the present-day vehicles are produced by Land Rover Limited. However "Landrover" is what people say!

You listen to Englishmen, they will more than likely actually pronounce Land Rover as "Lanrover". Another one is Bedford, spoken as "Bedfud"...........etc. Pronounciation is all about where you come from, hear Americans speak about English place names, they say it how it is written, here is one for instance, "War - ses - ter".....meaning Worcester. Strange really as a lot of these English place names are also found in the USA. Right, I'm off to bed, leave you all to caary on, put the light out when you've finished Richard |

What The ???????????
Actually, Willie (Willy, Wyllie, Willye) Nelson is a hick. He plays both types of music, Country and Western. As for the Land Rover (Landrover, Lanrover, Rover, Landy, Land-Rover, Lanrova). They are cursed by Mr Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. I believe Lucas invented the three position switch, on, off and smouldering. And as for the .....................

To an Australian, Us Kiwi's say "Fush and Chups"To us Kiwis, they say "feesh and cheeps"
and when an Aussie is counting , sex crops up alot. So how do you people pronounce "Southgate" I upset a bloke by that name by pronouncing it at written. Apparently it is correct as Suggit!! By the way do you know the inch was standardised in 1940. Prior to that the U.S. inch was ever so slightly different from the British. (Just thought I'd change the subject)

Re. A Silly Jeep Question
Jeeeezzzz Tim Tam
Why don't you ask a simple question next time, e.g. The Meaning of Life or something similar. This discussion reminds me of what Stan used to say to Oliver, namely, "this is another fine mess you got us into Ollie." Bob |
