How do the locals pronounce Bath?

[JellySlice]

I'm a southerner, dh is a northerner. The right pronunciation IMO is how the people who actually live there pronounce it.

Note my username has no capital letter in it

Try living in Shrewsbury! It's one way to weed out the forriners (or local poshuns) when they say Shrowsbury

how we pronounce Calais (in Maine - it's Callus)
That's how the older generation pronounce Calais, France.

(the English-speaking older generation, obviously)

Bath

Pronounced Bath

@Stupomax

That's not dissimilar to how the English Haverhill is pronounced by its inhabitants

@letscometogether I feel like all those unusual place name pronounciations need to be said in a Norfolk accent!

Depends which side of the river you're from.

I'm from Baff.

Barff. I live just outside the city.
Shouldwestay* I would pronounce Milngavie as Mull-guy (have family in the area)

That's not dissimilar to how the English Haverhill is pronounced by its inhabitants grin

Ah I do miss the Suffolk accent.

I was born about 12 miles from Bath, and have always said Baaath, though I'm pretty sure my DM (from Yorkshire) used to say Bath, with a short 'a'. There is a village in Northants called Cogenhoe, pronounced Cooknoe.
