> The one that annoys me is Cirencester, which is usually "sai-ren-ses-ta", and only occasionally "sai-ren-ster".

Or, according to my grandmother, "siss-iss-ter".

Just found a Devon town called Woolfardisworthy, but can be pronounced as "Woolzery"

I like the Northamptonshire village of Cogenhoe, which is obviously pronounced cook-no.

It sits on the River Nene, which is pronounced Neen or Nen depending on which bit of Northamptonshire you live in (Northamptonshire is not very big...)

I think the accepted authority on anything to do with Northamptonshire has to be Alan Moore.

Locals just call it “Ciren”…

It took me a surprising amount of time to work out where (Ciren) they were talking about after moving to glow-sester-shire...
