Not sure the 't' is pronouced. more like el-um.

agreed although i'd say its a soft t rather than a - there's definitely a bit of t in there for me

They got Bermondsey wrong though - I pronouce it beginning with an 'S'.

My wife had a private school education, when we met (26 years ago) she always said Grenich, "so how is it supposed to be pronounced then, spell it then say it"
"G R I N I D G E, Grinidge"

Grinidge, of course. Mind you, I heard someone turn Charlton into four syllables on the train recently. Che-arl-le-tun. Whatever next?

Addictedoldgit · February 2020

Grinidge for me

cafc_harry · February 2020

Definitely grinidge

Must be the same guy who sits in the East and puts at least 3 syllables in Lock-ee-yer

Weirdly that seems to have an extra almost silent p for me - Plum(p)stid. Bit like how the l in Charlton is hardly there either.

ETA on the original question, another vote for grinidge here, and I was born there according to my birth certificate. Although technically I suspect it was actually Woolwich, as it was the old Mothers and Babies hospital.

Yeah, another one for Grinidge

And another

Grinidge.

As an aside, found it jolly weird that those northern types were singing, 'Barnseerleee' on Saturday. Suppose that's where the 'Engerland' chant comes from.
Weirdos 😳

Surely it’s Chul-un. No T, just a glottal stop.

'Grinich' or 'Grenich'
