    My worry is that they’ll have ‘corrected it’ to that. I don’t remember them announcing it like that.

    Google Maps pronounces Dodworth as Dodeth, but struggles with Barugh Green...

    The one on the new trains is embarrassing for Barnsley ...... *EVERYTIME* someone repeats it and says Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnsley.
    Strangely, it's not updated on the older trains.

    If it’s the recorded announcements that I hear on the train over to Manchester, the announcer just sounds annoyed!

    That happens to me regularly when I say who I support in conversation. Invariably the other person or one of the group will say "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnsley." It's so annoying because they sound nowt like someone from Barnsley. It's more like a crap Noddy Holder.

    I've always called it Go Go Goch but I understand you're meant to say what Stephen says in the previous post.
