# You did Do You Know The Way To San Jose yesterday, another Frankie cover.
Are you branching out and starting a Frankie Goes To Hollywood covers radio show?

# I didn't know that.
But I did meet Dionne Warwick once back in 1971, and I lived in San Jose for a while.
I tried to ignore pop radio as much as possible in the 80s...

# Then again,
I loved the way a woman apparently from the Deep South (but probably from Basildon) pronounced 'Worcestershire Sauce' in a TV ad in the '90s, so it's swings and roundabouts innit?

# Admirable research efforts there.
The first bloke is closest with "Wuster-SHEER".
Here, we just roll with "Wuster". But then it's a deeply-ingrained 'brand' here, so we treat it with familiarity.
If I told you how we pronounce "Ford", you wouldn't believe me. ;)
