    There’s no Fookin’ way in the King’s English this is the real way to pronounce this!?!

    Worcestershire. Pronounced wooster-sure. I do believe The King’s English takes the piss whenever possible.

    Oooh! And Norfolk. That one is pronounced Nah-fuck, at least in Virginia, US. Not certain how the original town is said, I assume it’s similar, but the accent may have drifted in the last 400 years or so since the new one was founded.
