Back of Portsmouth there is Southwick, down here it's pronounced Suffick. Whereas our ( us Brighton boys) Southwick is just that South wick.

Suth-ick they pronounce it don' they? that confused me too.
'ghoti'
I've heard it called Sluffum, by someone who lived there.
Seafud or Seafoord?
Pronounced "fish", I believe?
Can we have the Hoathly debate?
East Hoathlee and West Hoathlye, I'm given to understand.
On the same road - what about Warninglid? I always though the 'lid' was pronounced like 'saucepan lid', but some more snobby types say it's pronounced more as 'warning - glide', despite the absence of the magic 'e' at the end.
Is he a JCL in West Hoathly? Or a tenth generation native? Last time I was in The Cat (some years ago, admittedly), the locals were divided on the issue.Nope West Hoathlee. But lets wait for [MENTION=3791]WestHoatlySeagull[/MENTION] to confirm

On a related topic ... I think everyone agrees that Ardingly and Hellingly are pronounced Ardinglye and Hellinglye. Don't they?
