“A glass of what?”
“a glass of Ruberna.”
“I’m sorry, can you say that again slowly?”
“Ru…bern… ah”
“What’s Ruberna?”
“Y’know purple cordial. Tastes a bit like blackcurrrents?”
“Oh, Ribena… why didn’t you just say so?”

I think my pronounciation of the first bit actually rhymes with chew.

(Think I’ve been getting this one wrong.)

Yeah, that’s how I should have typed it really. It’s just whether or not you’re meant to ignore the ‘R’ or not really.

Y’know what? I never noticed there was an R in there until now!

I didn’t for ages. Then my wife said it when we were cooking, and I clocked it. But are you meant to pronounce it!? I can’t find a definitive answer.
