Strange the River Av'n and the Gorge got a mention, though not the port of Av'nmouf... :-)

Just across the river is the town of Port'zed, as the locals used to call it prior to the popularity of a certain pop band who seem to have influenced the townfolk's pronunciation to something closer to the way it is spelled.
