'Grinich' or 'Grenich'

Having heard yet another journalist pronounce 'Greenwich' as 'Grenich' on the radio earlier I just wondered what the consensus on here was as to the 'correct' version?
As an SE18 lad in my early days always 'Grinich' for me and my gut feeling is that would be the view of most 'locals' with outsiders saying 'Grenich.'

Proper south east Londoners use Grinich / grinidge I've noticed. Suburnanites like myself say Grenich.

Grew up in the area. Always said Grinidge .
Moved out and gained ideas above my station. Started to say Grenidge.
This thread has convinced me of the right path and reversed the error of my ways.

Even when I lived in SE18 I still said Grenidge. Mind you, it was the posh bit of SE18 - the Glyndon Estate.
