My favourite is the idea of having all the poshies on rich hill pronouncing it the way the French say Paris. ie they live in Par-Vee, only people of ill breeding prounounce the 'S'.

In much the same way Notchet is No-Shay and Furthest is South Glamour (snotty people in London call Battersea South Chelsea [or occasionally Battarzia]).
