You remind me of
A French teacher (she taught French that is, but was from somewhere in Surrey, I suspect) who stood in for my English teacher once. He'd set us a question with romance in it, something like "How is the subject of romance handled in Grahame Greene's Brighton Rock?" The young lady in question insisted on pronouncing the word "Ramonce." Because she was a French teacher. And "Ramonce is a French word."

A bit like Chris D'Burgh
in Lady in Red when he rhymes romance with dance.

Well now y'see
that'd be OK here Oop North where they're both pronounced the same.

No it's not okay
there is never any excuse for Chris D'Burgh

I now see
that she wasn't at the very end of the scale of wrongness I had previously thought she occupied.

Radio Ads
There was an ad for something on local radio recently which tried to rhyme book with luck. It probably sounded ok as the ad-man sand it to himself in his Hull accent, but then it sounded awful on the radio using people who are not of a local origin.
