Do you pronounce Primark as 'Pry-mark' or 'Pre-mark'?

How do you pronounce Primark?

Primark seems to be like 'tomato' - 'toe-may-toe', everyone seems to pronounce it differently, either depending where in The UK they are from or just out of personal preference.

I personally say 'Pre-mark' as does everyone else I know where I am from. Very rarely in Scotland do you hear it get called 'Pry-mark'.

Primarni. It will always be Primarni in my heart.
I've never heard anyone call it pre-mark, that sounds so odd...

I'm deaf so I go along with how everyone else pronounces it. :colondollar:
Pry-mark, I've never actually heard the other version except when people are talking about how it's said. I'm from the Midlands.

There is actually a clothes shop in Birkenhead called Primarni.

OP: I pronounce it as 'pry-mark' as do most people I know. I'm from Merseyside.
