Mentions now just lots of English people telling me how they mispronounce Welsh/Irish names. Favourite was the guy who corrected me and utterly mangled Dun Laoghaire.

I’m from near Lewes but once went for a job interview at a Welsh radio station. The interview included a test of loads of place names and I failed on “Tredegar”.

How? Did you say “Tred-egg-urr”?

Idk if this is a Thing, but I can do Scottish & Irish place names and can do most Welsh places after hearing them. I assume that's because Scots/Irish Gaelic are similar and Welsh is a Celtic language too. Maybe it's just brain wiring?

Scots/Irish/Welsh are all phonetic, with a handful of exceptions but English is all over the place
