How long did it take to master Leicester?
How would you pronounce Towcester?
(Mind you, I would actually say Mary-Land rather than Merrilund, which I believe is correct)
Leicester = Lecaster
Towcester = um, exaclty how it's spelled?
Merrilund is about right, and Baltimore is Baldimur

I've been in the UK for almost 3 years now (I'm from Baltimore, Maryland US) and every once in a while I discover something.
Today it was:-
Currants are actually dried grapes.
Making them RAISINS to the Americans and Currants to the English.
Took me a year to figure out there are no drive through banks in this country either.
Yesterday it was I cannot for the life of me pronounce: Cheltenham Spa (well the Spa part I can)
