There were three bonny lasses forom Gloster / Sissester / Chop Yat.... There is a village near us that used to be pronounced Yuckinton until the incomers were in the majority. They read it as it is spelled - Utkinton. And is there an Irishman out there who can tell us the local pronounciation of Ballybunnion? |
