English is weird
Loki:
How do you pronounce Rochester and Worcester?
LTK:
If I remember correctly it's Roster and Wescter.
pwhodges:
Ro-che-ster
Wu-ster
^ as in "wood", not "woo"
Incidentally, in contrast with Cirencester (Si-ren-se-ster), Bicester (a town near Oxford) is pronounced just Bi-ster (Bi as in "biscuit", not "bicycle") with the same elision as Worcester.
Papersatan:
Rah-chest-er
(being from the one in NY. :) )
Pilchard123:
I take great delight in pronouncing Worcestershire as "Worr-ces-ter-shire" at work, in my most yokel-ish voice and watching everyone cringe.
