What is the correct pronunciation of Plaistow?
Is it Play-stow or Plar-stow?
I should know, I use to walk from there to Upton Park for 20 years but clearly not.

Literally no one has ever said Play-stow except the old announcements on the new hammersmith & city line trains about 20 years ago
Surely?

What is your blatant obsession with me and a place I've never been to joyless?
Have i said something about you in the past that deeply touched a nerve?
The truth, as the say, often hurts.

trying to pronounce my give name - Michael - is a lesson in itself, but I used to often get a shag out of teaching girls how to pronounce it.
Was that in Cambodia you old creep?

Plah-stow. Was Plah-stow before I even knew where it was.
Bromley was always an issue as my father and his family hailed from south of the river.
English, though, is a complete cunt - People trying to pronounce my give name - Michael - is a lesson in itself, but I used to often get a shag out of teaching girls how to pronounce it.
Then Michael Jackson died and everybody knew, so I had to put my knob away.

Arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks
Aerosol, the bricks
A lawless brat from a council flat - oh, oh
A little bit of this and a little bit of that - oh, oh
Dirty tricks
From the Mile End Road
To the match-stick Beacontree
Pulling strokes and taking liberties
She liked it best when she went up west - oh, oh
You can go to hell with your 'well, well, well' - oh, oh
Who said good things always come in threes?
Reds and yellows, purples, blues and greens
She turned the corner before she turned fifteen
She got into a mess on the NHS - oh, oh
It runs down your arms and settles in your palms - oh, oh
Keep your eyeballs white and keep your needle clean
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Her tits had dropped, her arse was getting spread
She lost some teeth, she nearly lost the thread
She did some smack with a Chinese chap - oh, oh, oh
An affair began with Charlie Chan - oh, oh
Well, that was just before she really lost her head
Now she owns a showroom down the Mile End Road
And her outer garments are the latest mode
There's a Siamese cat in the council flat - oh, oh
The finest grains for my lady's veins - oh, oh
And when it gets out of order, she goes away for a bit
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Plaistow Patricia, Plaistow Patricia
Ohh, go on, girl

If you’re an East Londoner or found yourself regularly in Plaistow, Newham, you’d pronounce it ‘Plar-stow’. Unless you’re from Bromley, they pronounce their Plaistow ‘Play-stow’.

30 years.
Doing some work there and a colleague was pronouncing it differently... It threw me.

I've never been quite sure of that either.
I always thought Super Trooper by Abba mentioned "when I called you last night from Plaistow", but apparently it's GLASGOW.
ERITH is another one I struggle with.
Is it eh-rith or EE-rith?
