Pronunciation of 'Mousehole' in Cornwall

[Zipitydooda]

Is it 'mouse hole' or 'mauzole'?

Difference of opinion here between me and school.

Thanks!

[MrsLovely]

Mauzole. Definitely.

[peeriebear]

Mouzle :)

"[The villagers] say it in the Cornish way, "Mowzel", but you may say it as you choose."

So by that reckoning you are all right. But it's Mowzel

[VivaLeBeaver]

Its Mowzle - so who's right, you or the school?

[lubeybooby]

I was told mowzell with the mow as in ow! like ouch, not like mow as in mow the lawn.

[Zipitydooda]

Thanks everyone; I was right!

..... Do I dare tell the teacher?

[PigeonPie]

I would tell the teacher, but then my ILs live in the next village!

[Nanny0gg]
