@FreakyFwoof @ner I only knew how to pronounce Worcestershire at an early age because of a random commercial on the radio in about 1987 regarding Worcestershire sauce. At that age, I found it amusing to just run around the house saying Worcestershire Worcestershire Worcestershire, just because I could.
