"Bombardier is a Canadian company".


Feck!!! I thought it was a beer

bom-bar-dee-ay is the canadian company

bom-bad-ear is the beer

... and also the rank in the Royal Artillery and Royal Horse Artillery. It's the equivalent of a corporal in an infantry regiment and carries two stripes.

And why do some of you insist on mispelling Bombardier? I'll have you all on jankers!
