I was at a car show with Dad, and a chap came over to us.
“I’ve always wondered how you pronounce the name of your AC...could you tell me please?”
To which Dad replied, totally straight-faced: “Grey-hound”.
I felt a bit sorry for the guy, who was completely flustered...
“...Oh...I thought it was an... is it ‘Ace-car‘...‘A-Cee-Car’...sorry...”
So I replied, “we’ve always said ‘Ah-Seeker’, (With the A as in ‘at’, not ‘Are’) if that’s any help”, but he still went away a bit embarrassed about not knowing his Arse-eekah from his Greyhound!
