>The last two I know..."chester" and "chumley!"
Sorry - Cirencester is sometimes pronounced 'Siren sester', and 
sometimes 'Sister'. But it's not 'Chester' , because that is another 
place entirely; Chester is the county town of Cheshire, just 
south/south-west of Manchester (north-west England). Chester is 
pronounced, well, 'Chess-ter'. Cheshire is pronounced Chesher. 
Cirencester is in the county of Gloucestershire (pronounced 
Glosstersher).
