The last time my wife and I were looking for a house, we were shown around by a guy who was selling his place fairly near the one we eventually bought.
He must have been from Bristol or somewhere nearby, because as we were walking around the back garden he pointed out the "gazeeble."

Presumably it gazobbled but it didn't fall down.

I wonder if he bought it at Asdal or Tesco's.

Tescol's, surely?

You've made me second guess my local pronunciations now.
I think Tesco's, because the L sound only goes on the end of the word, and Bristolians say Tesco's and not Tesco (which would make it Tescol). I'm prepared to be wrong about this though, as I talk like a posh twat in comparison.
