hahahaha fantastic!

After months of wrangling between life-long villagers and affluent newcomers, a High Court judge has ruled that the name of the tiny Dorset village of Schroatham should correctly be pronounced ’scrotum’.
/SNIP
Finally, after considerable research, the judge’s decision was swayed by evidence uncovered by historians showing that the town was named in the 10th Century, after the Anglo-Saxon word Shkoot’m, meaning ‘ball-bag’
:har: spoof news is great.

Some years back I discovered that the famous Silverstone racetrack is located in Towcester County. I was surprised to be told, when I asked a local online, that it is indeed pronounced "Toaster".:yeah:

Coming from NorthYorkshire, I refuse to pronounce the letter 'H' at the start
of any word and shorten any letters after 'T'.
