June 9, 2007: British nuke sub nose rolls down the street

[DanaC]

I pronounce it astewt....

I'd like to be there if just to see the double-takes of nearby pedestrians.

There wouldn't be any double takes. I remember one time in Bolton, they were using Le Mans Crescent to film something that was supposed to be in moscow. They'd covered the place in fake snow and there were tanks and jeeps and cameras everywhere.....and guys in big hats. Typical Bolton response was to just trudge through the fake snow showing absolutely no sign that anything unusual was going on.

Americans and Brits would pronounce that spelling differently, though. Newt is pronounced noot here, but nyute there. mostly.
