Worcestershire. Pronounced wooster-sure. I do believe The King's English takes the piss whenever possible.

Oooh! And Norfolk. That one is pronounced Nah-fuck, at least in Virginia, US. Not certain how the original town is said, I assume it's similar, but the accent may have drifted in the last 400 years or so since the new one was founded.
One of my favorite things to do in life is to pronounce words wrong to British coworkers like Worcestershire. I’ll enunciate that exactly as written every time even after corrected cause you lot may have invented English but you’ve let the tea go to your heads for too long.
Every time I see these silly words and learn the alleged proper pronunciation I will endeavor to pronounce them exactly wrong as is tradition. Or I’ll make a deal, I’ll pronounce them right if I can yeet tea into the nearest harbor with the British person watching as is also the tradition of my country.

Nor-fuck in the UK, so sort of close I guess.
Come to Massachusetts.
The -ham in Framingham is pronounced differently than in Dedham.
We have an Eastham, an Easthampton, and an Easton.
We have both -boro’s and -borough’s. In fact, North Attleborough borders Attleboro.
Next to Attleboro is Norton. Norton is southwest of South Easton.
fuck it's not that hard: Wuster, Lester, Gloster, and fuckin' Leo-minstrel-wassis-name.
Close.
Woostah, lestah, lemminstah, glostah.
Framingham is phonetic (framing ham). Dedham is DED-um.
Ya jabroni.
close, it's wuh-ster-sure.
I've lived in Virginia almost my entire life, and most everyone pronounces it "nor-fok"
