”It's not "Nottinham". It's "No'ingem".”

No Doug, the announcer pronounced the t’s correctly. They pronounced it ‘Nottin’am’, omitting the g and the h. I’m used to hearing the glottal stop - the local kids talk about, for instance, a par’y or a ta’oo - but I’m talking here about our national broadcasting organisation failing to maintain standards.
