Americans googling to see if these are all really places.
As a kid, I thought Birmingham was pronounced “burning ham”
Fun fact: when the boroughs of West Ham and East Ham merged in 1965, some of the suggested names by the public included Hamstrung, Hamsandwich, Smoked Ham and Hamsweetham.
They settled on the new name Newham, which, y’know, is elegant and all, but it’s disappointing once you know they could’ve been a sandwich.
Is it pronounced “nju’m”?
I think Eaton would have worked better for the last image haha
Dont forget Feltham
And then there’s Tottenham. Or as I like to call it: Tot & Ham.

Don’t get me started on Badham
Ted Lasso!
