Pronunciation is a nightmare thing, isn't it.

I can remember being totally floored when told that 'Cholmondeley' was
pronounded 'Chumley', and 'Featherstonehaugh' was 'Fanshawe' - at least in
Welsh (the oldest European language there is!) there isn't that problem!
Spelling in Welsh is easy, as all the words are spelled as they are
pronounced - but I have no doubt that, now I have gone into print saying
that, someone out there will let me know that that *isn't* correct!   But to
my mind, it wasn't as complicated as Worcester and all those other
anomalies!

Pob hwyl,  (Good wishes!)

Carol - now in Suffolk - pretty, but far too far away from the Principality.
