This is true for me overseas and in foreign countries. I don't get to insist they pronounce the roman letters as MY country expects it.
Cahrmel can be 'Keveen' in your 'country' but in London she ought to expect and accept she is 'ko-ma-hair' and really she ought to be happy about it and be complimented she is treated fairly and appropriately by the city people.
Funny but at the launch night I briefly assumed 'Shabby' was the Irish one.. because of the name obviously.
So at least we straightened that out.
