Wrottesley Road.

My satnav told me to turn onto Ruzzley Road.

Rot-uhz-lee ? But that's a guess rather than any actual knowledge!

Rotslee

Rotters-lee Road

Many years ago I was driving around Glasgow and the sat nav told me to follow a sign for Tradeston.

She pronounced it trad-ess-ton rather than trades-ton.

Sounds like a wanky way to pronounce a non-descript area. Like the New Gorbaahls.

See, that's what the locals in my car also said: Rot-slee or Rot-ez-lee. They were just as puzzled.

Mine seems to think Stowupland is really called Stow-planned and always struggled with Stradbroke (Stradbrook, not 'broke') but then I live in Suffolk where lots of place names cause her to throw a tantrum.

On the M27 ours always tells us to go towards ‘Sutton Docks’ it means Southampton but the road signs are abbreviated to So’ton Docks.
