LOL That reminded me of when I went to England. I stayed with a friend north of London and rode the train in to have a look around. Well I walked up to someone in a booth where they guide you to the proper buses and I said "Excuse me.... could you please tell me how to get to Buckingham Palace?" He looked at me and grinned and repeated "BuckingHAM eh?" I giggled and said "Okay, don't be a wiseguy... I'm from Canada. How do you pronounce it then?" He smiled and said "Buckingum!" It turned out that it was around the corner and a couple of blocks away.... nice walk actually. ;o)
