Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Not sure how prevalent it is back home,
but out here we have a city called Westminster. The street signs are even done "Olde English" style.

So why in the fuck does everyone around here call it Westminister. There is no extra "i" in there.
Same goes for the yank pronunciation of Wimbledon - Wimbleton. No. Wrong. Just wrong.

Oh, and the way people from Hull say Withernsea - it's NOT Wiverensea.

It's neither

You get points for that -
I'd totally forgotten. Let's get the bus to Wiv.

"Teddy's, the place to be in Withernsea"

And the bus would go through Thorningambald, not Thorngumbald.

On days out
My nan would visit her niece in Bedminister in Bristol and she did enjoy her trip round York Minister.
