Well I remember my Merry-can of a wife calling in GLAW-cess-ter-SHIRE. Shudder. Now she lives right next to it. I spend a lot of time up near Loughborough, and sometimes people humorously refer to it as 'Loogabrooga' (and Bristol becomes Brizzle, for some reason). I hope you DIDN'T visit Loughborough - though it DOES still have a train station. Not many haycocks, etc, though.
