I was in Southwell a couple of years ago and asked the obvious question ....in both the Bramley Apple and the Cathedral I was told much to my surprise that the pronounciation was Southwell not Suthall.

Another one I've just thought of.
A million and a half (1,000,000.5) When what they SHOULD say is One and a half Million (1,500,000) That often has me shouting at the telly or radio. |

I've heard a lot of people on the radio refer to Liam Neeson as "Liam Nielsen".
At first I thought it was a slip up but I've heard it so many times, I'm beginning to think it's like the "aks" thing. Another one that seems to becoming more common is "Westminister". |

There seems to a recent tendency amongst the middle class to pronounce an 'o' as if it's a 'u'. I'm forever hearing "from" pronounced "frum" and just heard Shelagh Fogarty refer to "Rumford".

I should bear in mind the Morecambe and Wise sketch just in case there is some obscure place called Rumford.

Love this stuff.
What a delight to read Studyform again. Isn’t Clapham pronounced Claffam? |
|
By:
As Clapham started to become yuppified in the 80s and 90s, it was said that it was being pronounced "Clarm".
Where is Studyform, btw? |
|
By:
Actually, it was also pronounced south Chelsea.

I think he got fed up with this place a few months ago.
I can’t remember who was involved but some people prefer this place to be an echo chamber rather appreciating each other. |
