    Personally, I'd pronounced it "BUH-ree" but that might just be my charming Scots' brogue...

    I suppose the difference between "Berry" and "BUH-ree" is purely down to regional differences in UK accents. In the South East (where Bill Beadle is from) they would say "Berry" for the act of "burying" a corpse, wheras in Scotland we'd say "BUH-ree".

    So we're all right
