How’s it pronounced?

[Jawscvmcdia]

Is it : (Gan)-(ya)-(Meade)
Or : (Gan) (e) (Meade)?

Ganny Mead. Like in Red Dwarf, you see.

‘Ganymede’ sounds nothing like ‘Red Dwarf’.

[Seb Patrick]

Why, how are YOU pronouncing Red Dwarf?

Ganny Mead, sir. The finest alcoholic beverage; produced from the finest Gannies ever to bumble within this great kingdom of ours?

First grown in 1832, the Gannys of Luton were among the rarest ingredients used in mead production since Lord Alverson Binwright drew-up the secret formula for the now legendary Ganny Mead. Bottled in Chiswick and filtered 38 times, to enhance the flavour, Ganny Mead is an exclusive brand, drunk only by the wealthy or ill-minded.

There’s a tiny clue in the way Lister sings it.

Wasn’t there some mockup calling the site ‘gallifrey and tardis’ at one point?

No no no. It’s spelt “Ganymede” but it’s pronounced “Throat Wobbler Mangrove”.

It’s ‘Fanny Mead’ not ‘Ganny Mead’. Or ‘Fanny Bleed’. Take your pick, either way it’s incest.
