heh, I almost said "a bit like a Tory" to see if I could provoke a reaction ;-) Actually, not sure that your pronunciation is limited to England at all.

My pet pronunciation bugbear is liquorice. I pronounce it liquoriss but wife says liqourish. A quick search just now tells me that -ish is far more popular and -iss is becoming extinct :-(

You'd need montain climbing gear to get into one by the time it reached you. You really do have Brit resolve, no jam, no cream. I tip my hat sir.

Actually I'm with you. I usually go for cheese danish.
