Hi Jamie
Just a heads up re. pesky English place name pronunciation from episode 454. Particularly as I know that they’re going to come up a lot in the next century or so:
Gloucester is pronounced ‘Gloster’’ NOT ‘Glo-Chester’.
Arundel is pronounced ‘Arund-l’ NOT ‘Arun-Dell’.
Congratulations though on getting my hometown Portsmouth (‘Port-smuth’) spot on. 😊
