                   How does one pronounce his name? A discussion in
                   C&ENews (25/10/93) relates that in the North of
England
                   where he lived, Joule is pronounced to rhyme with
jowl,
                   although most of us would probably pronounce is like
jewel or
                   jool. The Joule brewery used to take advantage of
this
                   confusion of pronunciation in its advertising, which
went
                   something like this:

                   "Do you pronounce it Joule's to rhyme with schools,
                   Joule's to rhyme with Bowls,
                   or Joule's to rhyme with Scowls?
                   Whatever you call it, by Joule's
                   or Joule's
                   or Joule's, its GOOD!"
