SMH, bit off topic but following the theme, my mum, who likes to think she's a bit posh having transplanted herself from Hartlepool to Hertfordshire, insists Hertford is pronounced with a silent 't'. Can you confirm or deny the truth of this apparently ridiculous assertion (she once suggested when I was a wee slip of an urchin that I have elecution lessons because I was picking up the Hertfordshire accent, if you-know-worra-I-mean-awright-mate!) She is a bit bonkers.
And hurricanes in Hertford (sounds like an elecution lesson in itself!)? Dunno about that but I once got caught up in a whirlwind in Letchworth!
