My husband has confused me by teasing me over many years and now I don’t know the answer to these two ridiculous things:
Is it Westfield or THE Westfield?
Is it Westway or THE Westway?
Surprisingly hard to Google a clear solution, it turns out, but I’m feeling gaslighted and annoyed about it. Please help!

Westfield (definitely)
The Westway (I think)

If you're talking about the shopping centre that is...

Westfield
the Westway (which leads into the Marylebone Road, and runs parallel-ish to the Great West Road: they are the pair I find confusing!)

What Joris said. And your husband’s being a pillock.

Is there something else going on in your relationship? This seems something so very trivial to get worked up about.

Yes definitely Westfield (and Westfield Stratford, never Westfield East or worse Eastfield!!).

And The Westway, as in "Up and down the Westway, in and out the lights."

Definitely Westfield and The Westway

Goostacean · 14/11/2020 21:59

How many years of this would count as not-trivial...?

And many thanks for the answers Grin Especially the Blur link! I’ll never forget the answer now.

And yes, DH is being a pillock, I have told him repeatedly but he’s just very proud of himself for succeeding in this longstanding amusement...
