    People who insist on pronouncing ‘ith’ referring to Spanish locations, I.e ‘Cad-ith’ rather than ‘Cadiz’ because they’ve been on holiday there once. Yes, I know it’s correct, but it annoys me. 
    Yeah it's like a Spaniard coming back from a weekend in England telling everyone they went to Man-chess-tah" with an accent like Kathy Burke as Perry.

    Ffs! It’s pissing freezing, you’re in front of a fecking roaring fire & they have you sat in a skin tight vest & skimpy knickers…………..then they make you walk through the haunted house in the dark cos you wouldn’t think to turn the lights on.

    The opposite applies to Ibiza, anyone saying eebeetzah as opposed to ebeetha I have visualised sat upon the electric chair without the wet sponge 
    Ha - exactly this. Valenthia was another one.

    Me and one of my younglings at work were having this argument last week or maybe last  month. They kept saying Barthelona as if they are Catalonian natives. I told them to give it a rest, as you say a weekend in the city does not mean make you a local. 

    The opposite applies to Ibiza, anyone saying eebeetzah as opposed to ebeetha I have visualised sat upon the electric chair without the wet sponge 
    Ha - exactly this. Valenthia was another one. 
    Always remeber Alan Parry when commentating on Real Madrid games, used to get on my tits as he kept saying Madreeeed. Just say Madrid mate.

    But that's correct - to them, London is Londres. That's what they should call it. 

    And Brits should call Barcelona Barcelona, not Barthelona, and Valencia Valencia, not Valenthia.

    There was a commentator in a World Cup many years ago who kept calling Müller (the Brazilian player) “Mull-air”, apparently ignoring that the player called himself that in homage to the German great Gert Müller. Maybe they pronounce it like that in Brazil, but it was still annoying.
    Then of course there was Ray Stubbs constantly calling Peter Ndlovu “Nd-luuuurve”. The bellend. I seem to remember Skinner and Baddiel ripped him for it on fantasy football and got him on to sing a song in the style of Barry White!

    Commentators are generally such pricks. Describe the action and stop trying to convince us all how funny and intelligent you are. 
    Remember commentators, you’re just a real life Alan Partridge - nobody is interested in your opinions and anything you say only makes people laugh at you, not with you.

    Rodriguez. Knobs insisting on always saying his first name James, but pronouncing it Hames to show their cultural awareness. Just call him Rodriguez FFS.

    Absolutely. And Paris “Paris”, not “Paree”
    Munich “Munich”, not München
    Moscow “Moscow”, not Moskva
    and so on.
    The French are right to call London Londres.
