Broadcasting school in Canada has some weird ways of pronouncing cities. Even a major city like Toronto is pronounced by announcers and its own residents in different ways - the second “t” is the contention point.

Well, the T in Dortmund is silent.
And when you reach the bit where the T would be spoken if it wasn’t silent, you blink both eyes.

What second “T”? I’m not even from Turonnah and even I know that.

I assume you’re referring to the town of Abbot’s Ford, which I assume is somewhere in the valley even though I can’t find it on any maps.
