    As I'm a Scot @Fire, The 'ch' is pronounced as in loch  ;)

    Or as in 'wheech' @Hostafan1

    To use in a sentence - 'I'll just wheech that duster over the shelves'
    Not that I've ever done that....

    Normally pronounce it Clem a ‘tis 
    But being a Brummie, born and bred Cle May tis rolls off the tongue very easily as you can imagine

    I find clem ay tis grates on my ears but surely the most important thing is to grow them, lots of them, and well so properly planted, supported and pruned and fed according to type.

    I want to shoot Nick Bailey when he says clem - ay - tis, sound sounds really affected. I say the a like bath, because a bath is a bath not a barth.
