OP Concerning Andrew Billen's jibe at Marr's pronunciation of Gough Square: How exactly does the native population pronounce that name? We were recently in London visiting Dr Johnson's house, and I cannot remember hearing any strange sounding pronunciations of that place name by several guides. My New England instinct would be to go with Marr and call it "guff" but I always defer to locals about their own places. (I suppose this could rhyme with cough, cow, or coo, but I hope someone authoritative will speak up. I haven't been able to find the answer yet.)
