On the subject of pronunciation;
Here's one I have never known how to say - Dunluce st, Walton. Is it Donelooss or Dunlusee ??
Someone told me that the e is not pronounced -- like you wouldn't say Gt Charlotte st as Gt Charlottie ! (although I have heard of people saying Charlottie!) .. .. is that like saying Siddybotarm when your name is really Sidebottom !

The other one that I always hesitate to pronounce is Ponsonby st.
Should we say it like posh people 'Ponson be' -- or the 'common way' .. PonsONbee ?? (I say it the 'common way!' )

.. just thought on - - is it Gerard (posh way sounds a bit French) or Gerrad gardens? ( a shorter more clipped sound).

Ged & Gerard ! how do you say Gerard Gdns?
