I heard that it was Berkshire Hunt. But that's just
splitting hares.

Chambers offers Berkeley, the OED suggests Berkeley (or
Berkshire). Hunts exist with both names. Pubs exist with the
name Berkeley Hunt, not sure about Berkshire. Berk is
pronounced burk, Berkshire is pronounced Barkshire, how is
Berkeley pronounced? Just wondered if that had a bearing.

Still, I quite like bicycling jerk now it's been mentioned.

Stop badgering them. Any more of that and you'll be hounded
