Date: Wednesday, 8 December 2004 02:59 (UTC)I say Ports-muth. I don't know what you mean my neutral vowel ^_^;; So here, have a comment!
For Birmingham:
Burm-ing-hum
Cirencester
Never heard of it, so don't know o_O; Ci-Rin-Chester I suppose, but never heard of it to know really.
Other interesting places?
Well that would have to be Cockermouth :D
Pronounced by the locals as Cocker-muth. It's in Cumbria.
