Hi all,

I'm still in NY, but on the verge of leaving for my flight back to 
London.  I've been trying to keep an eye on these lists so I don't 
have to read 1000 posts when I get back home.  

I think it was Scott who asked how to pronounce the words Marylebone 
and Pall Mall?

Marylebone (derived from St Mary Le Bon) is pronounced MARRY-l'bone 
(or MARR-l'bone), but there isn't much of a pause between the 
individual syllables.  Pall Mall is pronounced Pal Mal.  Personally, 
I'd pronounce Salisbury as SOLLS-bree, but SAULS-bree is probably 
more authentic.

Neil
