The one American way of pronouncing all the letters that really
makes me cringe is calling Worcestershire Sauce
"Wor-sester-shier Sauce" as opposed to
"Woo-ster-sheer sauce".  I think that the best example of totally
crazy English pronunciation of a place name is a small seaside town
in Norfolk called Happisburgh.  Any guesses on how to say it?!!!

lmao - I was just about to pose the same question, great minds and all that.
That's not a quirk of English so much as we East Anglians are nuts. There's
a place called Wymondham in Suffolk (I think it's in Suffolk) pronounced
Wind-ham, whereas Little Wymondly, near where I live now, is pronounced just
as it's spelled.
