There are a few cities, town and suburbs in Yorkshire that really seem to trip people up.
From news anchors pronouncing Keighley 'Keely', to the train conductors saying "you are now arriving in Slaaayth-wait", - sometimes unless you live local, you just don't know.

This catches a lot of people out but it is actually quite simple. It's Ree-voh.

Lastly was a controversial one for our readers. Technically, Bradford is pronounced exactly as it is spelt, Brad-ford, however, locals tend to call it Brat-fud. Our reader's disagreed on the correct pronunciation. Elaine Cooney said: "It’s Bradford not Bratford", but Elaine Cooney said: It’s how you can tell if someone’s a ‘Bratford’ lad - that’s how the locals say it, though the rest of us do say it how it’s spelled - I still say ‘Bradford’ though I’ve lived here a long time but my lovely man was a ‘Bratford’ lad..."
