Barclays? I personally say Bar clees, but apparently some people say Bar Clays... So what do you say??

 

[blueskai]

[wishuwerehere]

I say Bar-clees. I don't think it's a Liverpool/Northern thing, I'm from Berkshire

 

[OmarsMum]

Bar-clees

According to Wikipedia:

Barclays plc /bɑrkliz/

Bar-clees.. It's how it's said on the adverts I think

 

[blueskai]

Never heard it pronounced bar clays before, definitely bar clees

 

[bumblebeexo]

Clees!

 

[dgirllamius]

Barclees!

Definitely not a northern thing. I'm from Southampton and never heard anyone say bar-clays.

 

[Mummy May]

A lady off here started the same argument on FB and a lot of people are saying Clays and it just doesn't sound right to me lol! Xx

 

[mara16jade]

LOL If I was in the UK and knew what that place was.....I'd pronounce it Bar Clees.

For some reason when I say both outloud, Bar clees sounds normal and Bar clays sounds like you're trying to talk with an (American) southern accent.

 

[Mummy May]

Yes! You're right! It does sond right in dodgy Amarican accent xx

 

[mara16jade]

Yes! You're right! It does sond right in dodgy Amarican accent xx

[MrsPoodle]

I say Bar-clees and my hubby used to work there and that's how he says it too. I think they says Bar-clees on the advert too.

[TTCabundle]

Bar - clees !

 

[Abigailly]

Neither. I'd say it more 'Barcliz'.

 

[Kittycat155]

I am nj(east coast USA) and say bar clays. To me it is a company that provides our insurance so that may make a difference? But I would say it that way no matter what

 

[Rhio92]

Bar clees. Well, more like bar cliz.
