Title: Great Street Name
Post by: StinkyPete on February 25, 2015, 01:56:32 PM

While out and about today, I found this gem.   There are two ways of pronouncing this street name,  "Red" and "Reed" and both are correct.   I choose to believe that the correct pronunciation is "Red".

The challenge is there for anyone else to find their bike colour and model in a street name.    :grin

Givus the Lat/Long and we'll let you have it, Dodgy (oops, I mean, Gregory)!

And Pete- the Surname that Read St is named after is never pronounced "red".
That would be Reid or Reed.
Talk about having nothing to do in retirement...    :fp

Is not the past tense of reading a book, pronounced "Red" and the spelling is the same  ie "read"?
If I'm wrong, then I am happy to wallow in my ignorance and will continue believe that I have found "Red ST" street.   :crazy

Now, what to do tomorrow.........   :popcorn
