Right. Now I have to follow ANOTHER thread, so you can have this as punishment:

Plough (as in Slough)

Rough

Cough

Enough

Dough

Borough

Ought

Caught

Superb riposte.

You win.

You would make a decent Englishman.

Rough and Enough? Think that might be just the one entry.

Hiccough (an accepted spelling although I'm not convinced it is the right way to spell it!)

Lough (one for your Scottish followers, as it is an alternative spelling of Loch)

Hough (pronounced Hock)

Through

There are more, I think. Place names are likely to yield some odd ones, as your Loughton has two neighbouring boroughs (in Milton Keynes, Google maps fans).

First to the buzzer....GO!

[TightEnd]

Woughton in MK is pronounced Woe-tun

I am trying not to get involved here. Grammatical semantics can lose me hours.

Thread on ignore.

Ahh, "Lough" as an alternative in Scotland for Loch. Very good.

Does the OED include Scottish stuff, or is there an OSD, albeit very small?

Listen, a Gentemen sent me a PM ths morning all about CONCRETE.

Am hoping he will out himself, so we can discuss the merits or otherwise of concrete crash barriers.

[TightEnd]

If the masses don't like con-crete can you be dis-crete, please?

Or should that be discreet?

Tal can now revisit an argument from 2007. Which tikay lost, but refused to admit he lost

I live in MK and have't heard anyone pronounce it Woe-tun, everyone I know pronounces it Wuf-tun including myself, I think wiki agrees with me when I highlight my cursor over each letter.
