Like my mum, who insisted it was Cly on sea and who how we sneered at the tourists calling it Clay -until I heard her uncle, born and bred there, say Clay! I bet it was an early C20th century form of snobbism.

I sometimes wonder how many ancestors names I completely mispronounce. Maria & Keziah for example.
