Spelling issues.

Billy Connolly has a great little routine with that pronunciation/spelling issue . He talks about Kircaldy or as visitors know it as whats that £$% smell?When you got off the train in Kircaldy that's what everyone said.

Kircaldy was the centre for the production of linoleum but it fell out of favour as people would go into shops and ask for a lole of rinoleum , a rile of baloneum , a role of pertoleum oh $£%^ it give us a Carpet! :)
 
Remember Captain......when the couple first ask for " a roll of linoleum"......the assistant says " A ROMAN AND ONLY ONE ????.......WE DON'T SELL ROMANS !!".
One of my favourite EVER tales,from an absolute comedy genius.
