Please could you encourage ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ sports commentators to pronounce correctly the names of Barcelona and Real Madrid's football grounds:

Camp Nou = as in English "camp no" not "camp noo".
Bernabeu = "burn-a-bay-oo" not "burn-a-bow"
David Robinson, San Martin de la Solana, Spain

Margaret, Christchurch, NZ

Gordon, Newcastle, UK

Iain, Bristol

Helen, Cambridge

Gardeners' Question Time: not only is there a bunny in the garden (Bunny Guinness) but also Bob Flowerdew. I think the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ is making up names now!
Basil Long, Nottingham
