In that same vein:

Worcestershire sauce is pronounced, “Woostershire” with the two o’s making the u sound as in “push”

Leicester is pronounced, “Lester”

I live in Worcestershire, and often have to clear this one up for tourists :)

Leicster is pronounced Lester, you’re right, unless you come from there, when it is pronounced Lestoh!
