On Today this morning, one of the codgers (Humphrys? Naughtie? Could even have been Stourton. If it's not Sarah Montague or floundering new-boy Evan Davis I don't notice) was reading out some football news.
He had three names to say and managed mispronounce and incorrectly stress all three.
He pronounced Robinho "Rob-Eno".
Berbatov became "Ber-BAT-off".
I began to wonder if he was taking the piss when he pronounced the name of the out-going West Ham manager as Alan "Cur-BISH-ley". Come on! It's hardly an exotic surname.
