It's always pronounced "Theydon Boyz" - or at least that's how the automated Central Line announcer lady pronounces it.
They need to get with the times and adopt a gender neutral pronunciation.
The other Central Line location is Hainault, which has a different origin than Hainaut (no "l") in Belgium/France.

The high turnout suggests dreaded Conservatives sit on hands didn’t happen. “Vote in By election Chuck? been catching up on Corrie”. (That’s what Salop sound like) Got to be good news for Tories? Plus the fact it’s Labour who revealed it’s been high turnout means they are aware high turnout from their own number gathering sheets. This has to be good vibe for Tories I agree.

On a trip up north, my dad asked me to navigate to ‘Annick’. Which I did. He was not amused when we reached said village, as he was wanting directions to Alnwick... Norfolk has Happisburgh, known as Haysbrough, and Costessey, known as Cossey. And never forget Wolfardisworthy in Devon...
Happisburgh is beloved by archaeologists. It is the site of the currently oldest evidence for hominids in Northern Europe - around 900,000 years ago. Including the earliest hominid footprints outside Africa - around 800,000 years old.
900,000 years ago it was called Ug but pronounced Ug.

Naah, I never buy this "good election to lose" shtick. The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters, and the second greatest is to watch from the sidelines while the LDs do these things for you. They want to see Boris thumped as much as the rest of us.
Its only very recently that I was informed that Southwark isn’t pronounced South-Wark
And you don't pronounce the "l" or "r" in Holborn.
The Welsh quarter of Philadelphia boasts a station called Cynwyd which, I'm reliably informed, is pronounced Sinood by the locals. The Welsh original (a village important enough to merit a station on the old Ruabon-Barmouth line) is pronouced Cun-wid.

The odds are swinging around on Smarkets. I've managed to get back on the LDs so I'm now on for an even bigger profit than I was before I cashed out, at a lower risk than before I'd cashed out too. Will take that. Think I'll let it ride now.

The Tories didn't win an eighty seat majority by thinking "Tories can't win in seats like Leigh, lets collaborate with the LDs to ensure they take them off Labour".
Labour were second-placed and won over 17,000 votes in this constituency only a few years ago. 17,000 votes would be enough to win most by-elections if they could have got that vote out to give the government a kicking.
Looks like it could be a better than expected result for Boris.
Tories scrape home, he avoids a VONC and there is a progressive alliance civil war
Yes that is looking like the result of this election now, as all three parties are predicting same thing, and viewing reporters have said the same thing, and virtually called it. Boris has won, with Labour and Libdems getting high %s.
However from Libdem point of view, how much of the labour % would have given them win, because it’s unrealistic to expect it to wither away to zilch? Is anything below 7 or 8% just unrealistic to have expected?
Doesn’t bode well for tactical voting in future, next election dozens of Conservative MPs will survive in the same way happened here tonight.

There's no evidence the LD ceiling is higher than Labour's here based on past results. Just wishful thinking that LDs can hoover up both Tory and Labour votes.
Labour have over 17k votes in the recent past. The LDs ceiling has been much lower than that before today.

Another day goes by and we're still talking about omicron cases but not deaths.
Death takes a while.
Lag cases by about three weeks, but at the moment it's more that the older age groups have very low Covid rates. If that's because of vaccinations, all is relatively well. If it's because the spread has been in schools, and to parents, and will go to the old when the kids kiss granny at Christmas, all bets on death rates are off.
