EssexWIMB: I can't believe Theydon Bois is pronounced Theydon Boys rather than Theydon Bwuh.

It's in Epping Forest for goodness sake so of course it must be from le bois. Is this just Essexers refusing to use poncey French words?

[Brentwood]

But I suppose it could be pronounced BwahDale

[Berni]

with English imo.

[Brentwood]

[Luis Anaconda]

it was still pronounced Boys there

That's the thing with the Essexers for me, the real killer is the dragging out of the last syllablllllllllllllllllllllllllle

(Finsbury Park)

Take that as a compliment

It was depressing just watching them wandering around south London parkland picking up **** imo.

Look for signs to Amersham (despite being called Chesham Bois it is more Amersham than Chesham).

Amersham Old Town is particularly nice - I say nice, It is just a high street with pubs and more pubs (I think there used to be nine, probably less now) and at the end the ground where I played most of my cricket

Elisabeth Beresford's daughter mis-pronounced the place as 'Wombledon' and the idea came from there.

shame that but I guess it didn't really pull in the custom. Is the Boston still going strong?

I mean, who else would name a kid Orinocho?

[Ashberto]

so I suppose it was inevitable. Still a few no-go Irish pubs down the Holloway Road too.

Not really. Just ranging from the not very welcoming to the somewhat scary-looking.
