How do you pronounce Coleridge?

[NightShoe]

Please forgive my apparent stupidity, but is it Coll-er-ridge, Cole-ridge or something else because I don't have a clue.

Coh -le -ridge

COH- l'-ridge

John-son.

I don't know why I put that. I say it MrsBadger's way.

isn't it cool-ridge?

what do i know though...

Yep, like MrsBadger says

Thank you, as I thought!

Coal ridge.

And I should know. He was an ancestor of mine I'll have you know! Dad and DB have Coleridge as one of their middle names

Oh! Now I am all confused again!

Orm's coal ridge & Mrs B's COH- l'-ridge sound the same, don't they?

I voice the L, jsut sligthtly

Having said that I never met the guy in person. He may well have pronounced his name Blenkinsop for all I know

I say it the same as MrsBadger does.

It would depend what he was on at the time, Orm.

Indeed grimma!
