Btw, what is really the correct pronounciation of Marylebone?



Marly Bone


OK, thanks for that!

The Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marylebone mention both,
the former is said to be some "common" pronounciation while the latter
variant is said to be correct according to "Marylebone Association".



Oh yes, another instance where "neutral point of view" means "it's still
valid even if it's wrong, and look, a citation!".


I listen to how local residents say rather than encyclopaedias or
announcements on trains to teach myself the correct pronounciation, but
it is always interesting when they don't agree...
