Charlton as in Bolton, not Charlton as in Carlton.

Danny Baker always says "Chowwten". It's annoying.1

I agree that 'Men of Kent' pronounce the 't'. However, I think you'll find that (the superior) 'Kentish men' do not. With Kentish men the T is silent and the 'o' imperceptible. Thus ... the correct pronunciation is actually Charlunnnn.Callumcafc said:In Kent we say it proper. That includes pronouncing the t.

This. In a queue for a chair lift at a French ski resort in the mid 90's I had my red bobble hat on with the badge facing backwards (so passing skiers can see it as they approach) and someone asked "who's that you support" & obviously didn't hear me that well, as he replied with "Cheltenham ? - I didn't think they had a team". I couldn't be bothered to try to explain.......ForeverAddickted said:Cheltenham according to some people when they ask who I support.

When I'm asked who my team is, nowadays I start my answer with a sigh.
It's only having a few Coventry fans in the office that makes it more bearable.3 -
Yep I get Cheltenham a lot too2

This is the closest to the way I say it I think....._MrDick said:Every Sarf Lunderner knows it's chowtern

Unless I'm talking to someone who doesn't know football and I pronounce it perfectly, with a question mark at the end to see if they've actually heard of them.0 -
I think we should debate, at length, whether Charlton is in Kent or not, doubt that has ever been covered on here.Crusty54 said:
it used to be (why Kent CCC used to play at the The Rectory Field). My parents were married at St. John's Church, Blackheath in the County of Kent.se9addick said:
Irrelevant, Charlton isn't in Kent, you might as well tell us how they pronounce it in Botswana.Callumcafc said:In Kent we say it proper. That includes pronouncing the t.
Part of that debate should focus on whether or not Kentish Charlton fans are glory hunters as Charlton are significantly more successful than any team from Kent?1 -
But none of you has explained how you pronounce the "nil" part of it.0

I've heard a lot of Scandinavians pronouncing it 'Tiarl-Ton'1

Historically part of Kent, now definitely part of London.1 -

Chowl'ern in the Burra of Grinnidge.
It was always Grinnidge when I was younger in the 60s and 70s - the only people who called it Grenitch were those who'd never lived there.
Then the recorded train announcements at Charing X station started calling it Grenitch.
And Grenitch was what the monied newcomers started calling it as the place became gentrified.
I expect it's only a matter of time before Woolidge becomes Woolitch.
