moving off topic and out of the county now, here's Loughborough (luff burra) or luga boruga (phonetical) not luff-bor-uff or low-bor-ow (if you're trying to follow pronunciation patterns)

There are no rules to this language we call English  ;D

A visitor to Cornwall:

Try asking for directions and being told to go towards "Lanson".
You look desperately for such a place on the signs and maps.
Find a younger person and discover you are looking for "Lawnson".
Still confused you ask to be shown such a place to discover it spelt Launceston   ;) ;)
