Subject: RE: BS: Pronounciation
After many arguments over games of Monopoly, Marylebone station is always called "the M-station". Does anyone know if it should be Mary-le-bone or Marlybone?

The worst place name by far is "Llanfairpwyllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"

The people who work in the station there learn how to say it. Apparently the proninciation is
"Llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooll-llandus-iliogogo-goch".

Not helpful when you aren't welsh.
