Just for those who are still wondering, this information comes from Len Arbery, a life long friend of Bob's and he explains how to pronounce Bobs surname.
"The way to pronounce Bob Buteux's surname is Ber-two; as in Londoners' pronunciation of 4X2 timber, ie. "four 'ber' two!".
A Living Legend.....Bob Buteux

That's precisely how I'd pronounce it

Bob is usually at the various National carp shows with his second hand books. A wonderful chap to talk to.
