Daithi - Excuse my ignornance about the use of the 'glottal stop, but that might solve the mystery of S&R Plus others pronouncing Brafud as Bratford, However I've just done a poll with a group of Fagley, Thornbury & Bradford Moor residents (areas of North Brafud)who are all born & bred in the area (and the youngest being 60)from a community group I work with and they all agree there's no T in Brafud.
