A chuckle for you:

Mrs Get is called IONA
(changed very slightly for web) and:

I was waiting on a quayside for a ferry to the Hebrides and the CalMac chap came up to me and said:

"I like your number plate - we had some Americans here last year asking when the 'TEN N A' ferry departed"



I still call 'er indoors 10 N A occasionally - though I usually get a slap.

edited to apologise for spelling American incorrectly. (No mention of Nuclear here)

A friend of mine is in Iona right now, he too tells me of amusing pronunciations from tourists.
