Wot - "prennitch"? Cor! And I though Brewood and Gnosall were
tricky.
I'd be happier if people would pronounce "Hertford" correctly (i.e.
"harfud"). But note that "Hertfordshire" is correctly pronounced
"heartfudsheer", i.e. with a "t" sounded, and "Hertingfordbury" (a
village just outside Hertford) "hurtingfudbury". Ah, those English.

Two might have been a load (but not like Salters), however now there's
only one (functioning).
