Here is a bit of a pet hate of mine
I used to work in Chester at a popular Telecom provider who happens to be British. As a temp I worked with a broad cross section of people (posh students and some ne'er do wells as well).

Now for anyone who lives in chester knows, there is a rough estate called the Lache (pronounced like lace but in a Sean Connery Accent)

I was chatting to this one guy (Glenn) and we got chatting to about where we were from and he said he was from Chester and lived in the Lahshay, at mention of this place I had no idea where he was from till one of the other guys piped up with 'Don't you mean the Lache?'

To which Glen gave a silent nod...

I've got some other stories about Glen and when the appropriate QOTW comes up I'll post them!

Ditto
In Cardiff there's a area called Splot.
It's pronounced Splot by just about everyone, but
I've heared people refer to it as 'Splow'

Don't forget......

I live in Hoole. Apparently Hoole is posh, I didn't realise that when I moved here ten years ago, but it means that a 2 bed terraced costs about the same as a solid gold Roll Royce filled with teenage virgins covered in caviar waving bottle of Bollinger.

Excuse me, I need to lie down for a minute.
