My hackles rise every time I hear someone on the radio say, Breg-zit and that’s 100 times daily.
I know that’s the northern way of pronouncing X but everyone seems to be saying it. To me it’s Brek-sit. Along with Ek-sit, Tak-si, Foks-glove.
How do they pronounce X where you come from?

I am afraid how it is pronounced is the least of my complaints about the whole evacuees. 
How on earth did “evacuees” appear in my post earlier this morning?
I clearly wrote debacle but oh no, iPad knows best apparently 
I notice that Prime Minister is often pronounced as Pri- Minister. In this house Brexit is pronounced as clusterf*ck. 
Bella; not saying . By the way, on the subject of pronouncing things, did anyone watch the programme onBBC4 last night about 'illusions'. It showed something called the McGurk [sp] effect where someone was saying bah bah bah, but then continued to say it but showing a face that was saying fah fah fah, and you could only hear 'fah' not 'bah' even though you knew it was 'bah'. Whole programme was fascinating.
