Terror becomes "Tear"

I had a mate, Barry, who worked on the cruise ships out of Florida and the
Septics just couldn’t get their tongues around his name for some reason.
“Hi, I’m Barry.”
Berry?”
“No, Barry.”
Berry?”
etc.

He told me that one time he was asked by a typical yank couple whereabouts the staff slept on the luxury liner when it was out at sea, and as a joke replied, “Oh, they send a helicopter out for us every night and take us back to the mainland.”
He thought nothing more of it until the same passengers were leaving the ship at the end of the cruise and had handed in a complaint form, asking for some sort of financial remuneration. Their complaint read,
“The cruise was fine, except for being rudely awoken very early every morning by the staff helicopter returning.” Laughing

For my sins I watched one of those Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares from the US the other week and when he asked what was in the "Fresh Tomato Soup" he was told by the waiter, "Bay-zil"
Scathingly, he instantly, and correctly, replied, "Oh, you mean Basil."

Last time I went to the US, many years ago, I went on Continental Airlines, and every one of their staff managed to make the name into a word with only three syllables - always "Con-nen-al". It was all I could do not to correct them.
Never to look back
