    On the radio they were having a discussion about how Moro is pronounced
    one was saying moro as in tomorrow and the other was saying Moro as in more-o
    They even rang Cadburys and they said it was pronounced morrow but the other presenter wasn't happy as he had an audio ad which had it as more-o
    So they ring Cadbury's in Coolock and they said it was morrow as well
    So how do you pronounce it, some people in here think it is a northsider/Southsider thing?

    I agree - for marketing reasons. It's "more-ish", innit? ;)

    Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
    To murder men and gie God thanks?
    Desist for shame, proceed no further
    God won't accept your thanks for murder.

    I refuse to live in a society that favours one pronunciation over another. That's racism towards chocolate, which I will not abide!:mad:

    Are you joking, more-o lends itself naturally to a D4 accent, can't imagine anyone with a "non-posh" Dublin accent saying "more-o", just wouldn't be right. Morrow is the way to go.

    No, that doesn't sound right, it must be more-o.

    Heading to the shop for a sambo and a more-o.

    mmmm

    I thought it was "morrow" like bone marrow due to the fact that the bar is like an arm/leg bone with the peanutty stuff as the bone marrow.
