Default Proper pronounciation of 'Aldwych'

Being new to this (AND from Germany) I must admit that you're absolutely
right: Vee-Dub sound a lot better than our Fow-Vay (wouldn't have known how
to write this so that everybody know how the Germans pronounce it until I
found it here)... :-)

I think it rather depends on where you are. It 'should' be "Brown"
but internationally they themselves use the "Brawn" pronunciation

to
go with the flow. Other German brands like Adidas and Volkswagen

do
the same thing.


But 'Vee-Dub' sounds *much* better than 'Fow-Vay' (that's 'fow' as in
'how', not 'low') :-)
