What do you call your garage?

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

At what latitude does “Garradge” become “Garidge”? (Or am I being too simplistic?)

North Oxfordshire: garidge.

[Nobby the Bastard]

I call mine 'that shit-hole'

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "Garr-arge" unless they were trying to affect a formal aspect for the purposes of extracting the urine.

Garradge?

Garidge?

It's a car hole.

[doggone]

I have a shed.
But its a stone barn really.
Just to confuse things.

[MarJay]

Garrraaarrge! Garrraaarge! Ooh lah-de-dah Mister French Man!

I'd like to think I say Gararge, but in reality I'm from Readin' innit, so I say Garridge.

I call it 'Farage' Cos it's full of shit.

To be honest I like Farage. Even voted for reform.

[Evil Hans]

It's always been "Garridge" wherever I've lived - Bucks, Cardiff, Surrey, Bristol, Gloucester.

I call my garage ''Gargl''.

EDIT: Just used the Google translator and found an English word ''gargle'' that if read fast with hard R sound sounds exactly the way I call my garage.

It's not a real word in Czech language. I made it up years ago and only a few people know what it means. It's a combination of the Czech word ''garáž'' (French pronunciation of the word ''garage'' is very close to the way it sounds) and local accent/dialect (Moravian-Silesian region).

In Moravian-Silesian region we tend to speak fast/short and don't waste time with long sounds in words, but at the same time it's the cleanest and most literary correct way of speaking Czech. In other parts of the country the spoken language is way off the written/correct form.

Here's a question for the Brits here, what British dialect/accent is the closest to the ''correct'' English in spoken form?

I speak like a pirate.

(The 'Arrr, Jim lad' bit was originally done by a somerset actor and now the accent is now associated with pirates.)

Tricky one to answer.
Many may say Received pronunciation (RP) as is spoken by say BBC news presenters, Royalty and most politicians is 'proper' English as it's generally more formal.
It is in one sense more 'correct' English, as it does tend to use use the correct forms and terms instead of slang, colloquialisms, diminutives etc.

Garage (rhyming with Farage) is a dirty word of French origin and no self respecting Englishman would pronounce it that way.

I’d call it Beryl if I had one. Then I could stick it in Beryl whenever I wanted.

You have to fill it with spiders so the wives do not want to enter or store their precious items in.
