Charlotte ROAD

ffs

???

er, you're welcome. I think?

Oh thanks!

For some reason I get a bit wierded out by people calling Charlotte road Charlotte street. Almost annoys me as much as amerinadians calling Oxford Street and Baker Street 'I was walking doen *Ox*ford, then I turned onto *Ba*ker'.

Sorry for being a twat though.

Skully, you're not a twat, chin up...

Group Hug :)

My favourite is always...'Lie Chester Square'

I overheard a septic, fresh off the plane, telling his mate via his mobile phone that he was pulling into 'Ed Gware Road' tube station.

I have never in my life said that, I don't know whats so hard about it, its named after the cheese spelled the same, what the fuck would make you think its said differently. And if i know something about spelling, and cheese, then it has to be really fucking blatant to people who either have eaten cheese in the last 8 years (which i haven't), or can spell (which you all know i cant).

Chris, Chris, Chris, surely you don't think Leicester (the CITY) is named after a cheese?! hahahah

my friends from america used to call oxford street 'oxford' and leicester square 'leicester', it really pissed me off! haha

to be fair (though don't think for minute that i've made this mistake), Leicester is not spelled even remotely phonetically. nor is worcester.

it always grates a bit when someone goes off on tourists/visitors for mispronouncing the names, but then when they're in the northeast US, the same people will call us stupid for pronouncing a place "pea-bi-dee" with a spelling of Peabody.

racists. ;)

"Southwark" - proves our forefathers were fucking idiots.

hey, i live there!

I love the idiosyncracy of placenames. There's LOADS of this stuff in England. I come from a place that has three nearby villages called Woughton, Broughton and Loughton. ALL three "~oughton" parts of these names are pronounced differently - something like *Woof*ton, *Broar*ton and *Lauw*ton.

I get annoyed when people pronounce the L in Holborn.

oh...i'll own up to the L in holborn. i now know not to! ;)

I'm sure I've heard English people pronounce the L in Holborn?

And I'm with Hassan and Hippy. You guys may have invented the language, but you did a shit job of keeping up with it ;)

(I will often refer to Liverpool St Station as simply Liverpool. Do you think I'll be deported?)

You will now. I've just reported you to Her Majesty's security services as a heathen.

I should think so!

When Skully is king, I will be first against the wall.

Is he set to be king of Canadia then?

Same monarch!

(and I'm also British biatches!)

i once overheard an american talking on a "cell phone" on neal street telling a mate, "well get out of your hotel and come and meet me! i'm at coventry gardens. just go to the train station and tell them you want to go to coventry gardens and they'll help you out!" i'm hoping his mate wandered around the midlands for several hours before returning to their hotel room.
