I dont know if I am right or not on this, and quite frankly, thats not the point.
I hate it when people say Bombardier (you know the bitter...) like this - "Bom-bar-dee-yay".
Its "Bom-ba-deer" surely.
I'm probably being petty here, when peoople say "Deuchars" any other way than the proper way ("Deu-kars") it doesn't bother me at all and believe me, I hear loads of different ways....
"doiy-ch-ars"
"dyou-chaarss"
"dewch-chars"
None of them annoy me, not like "bom-bar-dee-yay" does.
Im not going to get it in again. Thats how much I hate it.
As you can tell, life is slow here in Daily Beagle land. Imagine what my life would be like if I had some real problems! So my only real gripes are the bad pronunciation of Bombardier and the fact that people seem to think that normal life stops cos f-ing man united are on tv.
Ok, Im thinking I should go and get myself a life or at least some real problems......

Bom-bard-dee-yay sounds a bit French. It'd wind me up too if I was serving pints of it all night.
I've emailed Charles Wells brewery....I'll let them settle it once and for all.

Looks like it can be said either way although on there bom-bard-dee-yay is some sort of snowmobile from Canada named after the inventor Armand Bombardier (definitely French Canadian). Not really applicable in this case.
