I do some work for Thales
And always pronounce it "Tal-es"

Not that it really matters...I just want a go in a flight simulator but I stand a better chance with Boeing next door (in Crawley) :)

You have to know it's pronounced Talis
for this story to begin to make sense.

Hmmm it's my first go
And I thought that most people would pronounce it 'thales' in the first instance, I'm sure that's the way I read it when I heard it. Still, all feedback gratefully received.

Hah. It's no good writing it down like that.
I read it as '. . most people would pronounce it [rhymes with 'whales'] in the first instance. .'

Come on, don't be offended.

I have been educated today.
I thought it rhymed with whales as well.
