Saying it the posh way adds at least a couple of hundred squids to the wedding album....

I were joking chaps!

Adopt your best brummie accent (like the one I'm nearly rid off by now) and then say 'reportidge', that's the kind of chuckle I was after

Because you are a PC user and it was a case of laugh or cry?

[AleksanderLoesch]

lol, im from Laaaandaaan (london) but the circles in which i swim in are all rather posh, so it was beaten into me as "rrrepor-taje" -basically how the french would pronounce it.

That means pronouncing the "r" from the middle of your tounge and not the front -if that makes sence!

 

[andrewc]

rep-or-targe with the emphasis on the rep

 

[Rob.Marsh]

I have only ever heard it said like your second option.

 

[Twentyten]

Re-poor-taj (as in Taj Mahal)

Posh gett me!

 

[Jo]

I'd say "Would you like me to set up in that bush over there and take your pics in the style of a PI or stalker... but prettier?"

Totally joking of course. I love the Rep-or-taj style of reportage One day I hope to be able to do it well myself!

 

[Yv]

OI, common Mancunian here with an accent that stands out like a sore thumb here in London, but I have still always used the second option, reh-poor-taaahhhjj

 

[candlestick]

I say re-por-taj. If I said 'poor' in the middle, in my native accent, it would sound like 'rep-poo-err-taj'!!??

 

[2blue4u]

Neither.

Repor - taaaaarge

Think French.

 

[2blue4u]

Excuse the American accent

hear it here

 

[desantnik]

I had to read that twice before I spotted you said "Mancunian" and not "Manchurian"... must be your funny accent

 

[CaptainPenguin]
