How do you say 'courier'?

I've always pronounced the 'ou' as in book, because it feels closest to the original French, but i occasionally hear people say 'currier' and 'corrier'.

Part of me wants to get stroppy about this. The rest of me doesn't care!

Which is why some have gone with "light haulage", or "deliveires" or "Logistics"... Lol

You wouldn't believe how many can't say the word

Mind you no one listens anyway

When the phone rings i say "speed couriers" and the amount of people that say "is that speed couriers"

I'd like to say "isn't that what i just f in said?".. But i don't... Its not good PR

Your telling us you haven't got a bit of flange to answer the phone, who answers it when you go playing golf?

Would that be an Essex Flange or a Surrey Flange?

Bit of skirt flange

Although the word flange generally refers to the actual raised rim or lip of a fitting, many flanged plumbing fittings are themselves known as 'flanges'

LOL Yes I know where I come from its a bit of GOWL

Golf?, I don't do Golf If i wanted to hit something small with an iron stick i'd just drive up to Peterborough

Feel free to visit any time, minus the golf club. I'll make you a cup of tea and you can meet all the staff. Maybe, just maybe, you might realise that neither i (or the rest of us) are anything like you think. Then, maybe you could tell everyone else about your experience.

Tea? YUK! Coffee only!

Ps - we also say it as c-u-riers - but the phones always answered as Good morning / afternoon - HSP

Unless we know you already in which case - it could be anything!

Have you been working on your allotment again?

No, but if you have a herd of cows, looked after by a male cow, then he gives an awful lot of organic material for anyone that does have an allotment. Lots of that stuff on forums if you need any

A MALE COW HMMMMMM That's the kinda statement Joey Essex would use LOL
