It helps in no way at all that Worcester, PA is pronounced WOR-ses-ter.

That is how it is pronounced in the UK (where the town name was brought over from), so they are pronouncing it correctly, the one in PA is incorrect⌠and it drives me crazy.

Exactly⌠and if you pronounce it that way here in PA (the town is in a suburb north of Philly), they either donât know where you are talking about, or think you are discussing the town in MA or the UK.

Hey Brits, my DH just read in the paper that The Bank of England declared yâall only have until September to get rid of old paper bank notes. Is this a thing? As in itâs going to be a problem and everyone is wondering what the heck to do? Or is my local paper making a mountain out of a mole hill?

Not really.
There are millions still in circulation, but itâs not actually a problem for the average person.
If anyone is lucky enough to find any old notes in a winter coat pocket a year or two down the line, theyâll still be able to deposit them into a bank. They just canât spend them in a shop.

But, in the context of the sauce, the whole of the shire is silent. Itâs just wuss-ter, where the vowel sound in wuss rhymes with the vowel sound in book.

Weâre not getting rid of banknotes altogether. Just paper ones. The new ones are plastic.
