Have you ever travelled from Dewsbury to Shrewsbury?

Dewsbury and Shrewsbury only rhyme if you're working class.

Dewsbury and Shrewsbury only rhyme if you're working class.

...and Dewsbury doesn't have any "alternative pronunciation" depending on which side of the Calder you live on!

Does Norwich rhyme with either Harwich Town or Harwich International?

Norwich to Dorridge (a stretch maybe!)

When I worked in Norwich I was told that Norridge was the correct local pronunciation.

Plockton / Stockton

Not sure if these count but there's
Achnasheen / North Sheen
Wick / Berwick or maybe Partick
Royston / Robroyston

GB wasn't specified so there is the boring Bangor to Bangor. Further afield is a doddle. E.g.

Dietikon to Dietlikon (train continues to Pfäffikon and Wetzlikon)
Nyköping-Linköping-Norrköping-Jönköping
Ketegyzhaza to Lököshaza is one stop

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Deighton to Long Eaton

Dietikon to Dietlikon (train continues to Pfäffikon and Wetzlikon)
Nyköping-Linköping-Norrköping-Jönköping

Aren't the two Bangors pronounced differently? "Banger" versus "Ban-Gore"?

(Apologies for the double post, assumed it would automerge)
