Great Street Name
« 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.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

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
