    We’ll always have the time we heard a podcaster pronounce the name of the town “Stroke-on-Tent”.

      Guy I watch on YouTube drives around the UK following a 100 year old Michelin guidebook, looking at historical things on the way. It’s nice and fairly cosy.

      Last weekend’s video was in my neck of the woods. He visited the town of Lymington (pronounced LIM-ington), and pronounced it Lie-mington the whole time.

      90% of the comments were locals pointing it out to him.
