How do you say Norbert Dentressangle?
One of the most often seen liveries on British motorways is Norbert Dentressangle, the enormous French haulier no-one in the UK can pronounce properly.
This is a Corgi Scania R Cab food products tanker in 1:64 scale and typically of the Superhaulers range is very presentable and displayable. You can own this one for £11.99 from the Little Wheels on line shop: http://little-wheels.net/products/23258

Not exactly an expert at phonetics but I will have a bash at giving you an idea as to how this is said:
Word One As Sounds with slightly more emphasis on the ‘Bert’ syllable.
Word Two: Said like ‘Dee-en-tress-san-gle’ … The name actually originates in the Netherlands so I understand.
I hope this is helpful in some way … Last time I did this for somebody over the dreaded ‘Louga-Burrugha’ [my home town] they were quite appreciative of my bash at phoenetics on that one :o)
