Pronunciation

Yep, the correct pronunciation is indeed ‘forrid’ - although it was spelled as an abbreviation of forehead, but I cannot now recall exactly how. ‘Forehead’ is actually an anatomical term, which has only relatively recently gained in popularity. ‘Recent’ to me being the last fifty years!

Hi JohnO Yes I still say forrid :D
 
The way we pronounced Solihull, (discussed earlier), was "Sowlyull".
I live in South Cheshire now and they have a language all their own !
