Stupid things that stupid people do but that you don't do because you're not stupid.

No you're right, it's just that every Scottish person who calls us up pronounces it to rhyme with eye, so I was wondering if this was a general Scottish thing or not. First time someone said that it took me a good ten seconds to figure out what they meant. -

That's mostly a west coast thing. -
It's mostly a weegie thing, like most things wrong with this country. FUCK YOUR BIRTHDAY, GAV.

I still don't really understand this. They pronounce the letter 'jaye' as 'jiye' to rhyme with guy? Does it affect how they say the words?
-
I think this is because it was the pronunciation we were taught when learning the alphabet. I can't think of an example other than reciting the alphabet where I wouldn't pronounce it as jayCome with g if you want to live... -
It's jaye to rhyme with aye. -
The B is silent.Come with g if you want to live...

Turns out her dad had read it in a book, neither he nor her mother had encountered the name Yvonne in real life, and came up with their own pronunciation. That led to another listener with the surname 'Dunne' writing in, about booking a hotel room. All to aware that there is also the surname 'Dunn', they clarified the spelling when they booked over the phone. On arrival, the receptionist couldn't find the booking until the manager traced it under 'Dunnwithanny'. That led to jokes that hopefully Yvonne would find and marry a man called Dunne, so that she could be 'Wivvonay Dunnwithanny'. Also makes me think of my cousin, christened Catlin (rather than Caitlin, or one of many other spellings). Even the minister was saying 'Catt-linn'.
Hah that got a loud chuckle from me. Fellow commuters on the train looking at me strangely. Fuck off, people, this is funny.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
Dave Gorman, Absolute Radio podcast if you wanted to listen to more of that kinda thing elf. Soz, can't remember which episode it was in.

Some moron in the eatery I'm in just did that whole putting-a-whole-thing-in-your-mouth-and-chewing-when-you're-only-meant-to-suck-out-the-good-bits thing. An older Japanese lady laughed at him, her friend demonstrated, and the German guy next to him explained where he'd gone wrong. The plonker has clearly never had edamame before, and must've thought that if it looks like mangetout you must eat it like mangetout. What a fanny. -
Wivvonay Dunnwithanny sounds like a memorable alt. 'Looks like we've got a new Wivvonay', 'Ha I was about to type that', and so on.
Howdy, Stranger!
