I love my Meuccis! Simon has bought more Meuccis than he admits. I was speaking with Bob's son-in-law from Meucci the other day - he has a REALLY long Southern drawl which was fun to listen to, but I nearly died when he kept pronouncing it "MAY-YEW-CHEE"

OCD taken to new heights by Simon - but great fun to read about all the same - it's like a bizarre 'holy grail' adventure story.

He, he! A Grail indeed. I felt as if it was mythical all these years. I still didn't believe it existed until I had it in my hands, I though it was just some of my cue friends in the US playing a massive prank on me.
Way, way too much energy placed into aquiring it .
Glad you all enjoyed reading about the quest though.

Bob's son-in-law probably thought that your accent was quite quaint Dave. In Spain the Meucci cue is pronounced MAY OO CHEE, I have never heard it pronounced any other way, how do your pronounce it in the UK and why? I don't like them in general, they are too pretty for my liking but obviously suit some people I know!!!

They're not just pretty, they're beautiful!
Everyone I know pronounces it like Gucci - MOO-CHEE!

Then you should spell it Mucci Typical Brits trying to anglicize foreign words, why not learn how to pronounce words that cannot be translated into English

I suppose it depends on which dictionary you use, my Concise Oxford gives the spelling with a z first followed by a suggestion that you can also use an s as an alternative.  [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2007-01-06 15:46 ]
