Lol I am from a place that calls it "worstersher" sauce. I was with a guy who lives where the actual city is and tells me they call it "Wuster" sauce. So, definitely that. 🤣🤣

@SW-User It is pronounced "Wuster". Don't ask me why, but it is.

@Crazychick so they say. Lol like Leicester is "Lester".

@SW-User And Gloucester ? 😃

SW-User

@bijouxbroussard that's a good question. I don't know, but I assume "Glawster" or "Glouster"

@SW-User Where I come from we say "Gloster" with a short "o" sound. Like "Foster".

@Crazychick that makes sense

@Crazychick That does makes sense. A lot of those names I see in print more than I hear them spoken.

@SW-User I'm glad someone thinks so. English towns often have peculiar spellings. Leominster is another one, it's pronounced "Lemster".

@Crazychick Once visited the Cornish town of Fowey. After a week I was very politely told it should be pronounced Foy.

@Crazychick what about Magdalen college lol

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@ozgirl512 Yeah, one girl I know calls it "Maudlin College". 🤔

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

@Crazychick yep!... Go figure lol

@ozgirl512 At school we referred to Mary Magdelen but I have heard the Maudlin' version.

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

@alan20 my understanding is the Maudlin is the correct pronunciation... But I have nothing to back that up

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@ozgirl512 Apparently so.

@ozgirl512 Maudlin College, Oxford sounds very familiar. Indoctrinating kids with the Bible and referring to Mary Maudlin would seem funny - Mary Middling!
