Hey, Kathy!
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
(I almost wanted to say that if we can't even pronounce the same words similar, all hope is doomed. And then I remembered that it took me about 10 days in US to make sure that when I'm asking for French crepes it won't sound like I'm asking for French craps).
If it's not Scottish, it's crap!!
Back in Alameda, we had a street called Versailles. And the locals pronounced it "Ver-sails". Seriously. Lived there for many years and am still not over the boggle.

Good lord I'm tired. But I just saw a bald eagle flying over the water. (Yes, I'm posting from the bus to work.)

That's more or less how they pronounce Versailles, Illinois. (See also KAY-ro, which normal people would pronounce Cairo.)
Also Marsailles, Illinois (Mar-SAILS), which is always mentioned on the local weather reports since that's where the big Doppler radar station is.
Thames Street here is pronounced as it is spelled, not "tims".
