How do you pronounce the name....

...Fjastad? As in Roy Fjastad.

 

It's pronounced fee-es-ted. Easy for you to say. Or if you are from the South, fe-yaah-stad............ya'll.

Well, thanks. Yep, I've been butchering it for decades....

Jeese Jeem ,

you just made me realise how old I am , we used to bring in container loads of Roy's Deuce Factory stuff into Australia in the '70's , talked to Roy on a regular basis , used a lot of his rails too , a good bloke........

cheers

F-sad F as in blowing Faa sad Fa as in Fast Fasad. But then maybe I have been screwing it up.

 

I always just called him Roy.

 

I only knew because I googled it and there were two pronounciations there.........the ones I posted. I bet Roy is used to getting everything under the sun. My last name is tough too, so I answer to anything close.

Don

 

Ahhhh, that's easy
Pronounce: SWAH-vu-SEE-toe MAG-nee-FEE-co

 

I've always thought "fee ya stad", kind of like Don said - at least that's how I say it in my head.

Not to highjack but another is Ganahl - I think it rhymes with "tall" as in "too tall Ganahl" but not sure - met him a few years back and wasn't sure how to pronounce his last name so just called him Pat - seemed a bit forward to me...

Believe the J is pronounced as Y (as in "by yumpin' yiminy!).

 

Yep, definitely "G'Nawl".....I think......hahahaa

 

Pronounced "smith"...all the letters are silent!

 

Gan like in Can-all. I think. Gan-all. Now if you can't do Fox, I can't help

 

I have lunch with him almost everday,, just remember , he's Swedish !!
