OTOH, in English we don't pronounce Paris as "Paree", many people
pronounce Bologne as "Bolloin", we've changed the name of München to
Munich, Köln to Cologne, Москва́to to Moscow, etc... so as far as I can
see, we can pronounce Santander any way we like in England.


In that case, it's OK for the Aussies to call it "Loogerberoogah". One
can't be OK and the other not.


They can call it whatever they want, but no-one's going to know what
the hell they're on about if they do call it Loogerberoogah whilst
they're here.
