K

I don't know whether to edit the page to include this, as it's probably racist and rude. But there is a long tradition that

K for bastards (kaffir bastards)

has been used as an alternative. -- 18:32, 20 January 2010 62.3.121.230

Z

I am puzzled by the current phrase for the letter z, which is uniformly pronounced 'zed' in the UK. The article gives Z for breezes (zephyr breezes). Can anyone shed any light on this. Martin Hogbin (talk) 17:44, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Zephyr" is always pronounced with a "short e" vowel, as far as I'm aware, so zed-fer sounds a little like zeffer. Zee-fer wouldn't sound like anything. AnonMoos (talk) 21:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The recording I have of Clapham and Dwyer has them saying it as "zedfer breezes" Alf Boggis (talk) 17:49, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
