Could be worse...At least we can pronounce our own places properly - you should see what those Merkins do to "Pittsburgh" - IT'S PRONOUNCED PITTSBORO YOU DAFT CUNTS.

For one calling others daft cunts,you're quite daft yourself. If it were pronounced Pittsboro, it would be spelled borough, or boro. Burgh is analogous to the burgs and bergs of Scandinavia, and would certainly not be pronounced in the way you seem to think it would.
Edit:On further reading seems there's another form of burgh which would explain your pronunciation. I'll choose to blame the Germans for the current pronunciation deviating from the likely original, with their influx into the area.
