PoohI always used to wonder why the donkey had such an odd name - Eeyore.
It was only once I got a bit older I realised that the southern English pronunciation of it is ee-aw. Whereas -ore and -aw are very distinct sounds in my accent!
For the same reason, I remember watching a kids' telly programme which invited the viewers to pick out words which rhymed with each other.
On of the pairs was 'door' and 'saw'. Doesn't work hereabouts!
I find this sort of thing quite interesting. Sorry if I'm boring you.
Edit@Al - have you been spying on me, you bastard?
