Practice your diction folks.

The twenty to two train to Tooting tootled tunefully as it tore through the tunnel.Choose stew Tuesday, Tuesday is stew day.

The last 16 years have often felt like a journey with Charon.thai malaysia addick said:As someone born and bred in Charlton, I don’t think there are any silent letters in Charlton. The L and T are just soft. It’s certainly not Charton, Charlon or Charon.1 -
I was watching some of our old games the other day, mostly 60´s and 70´s and listening to the crowd, it is amazing how diluted the south London accent has become over the years.
We were proper Cholun back then.0 -
I pronounce it ‘Charlton’ with my head down and my shoulders slumped6

Greg Stubley says ‘chown’.1

I don’t really believe proper South East Londoners are really pronouncing the “r” in Charlton, it’s definitely getting changed to a “w” or possibly an “h” in our accent. The Kent folk may have a different pronunciation but I’m not interested in them.4

Should be no 'O' in Charlt'n.2

Back in the good days I took my niece and young son to a match. My niece made the comment that my son was the only one she could hear who was actually pronouncing the "T" in Charlton. Me coming from Plumstead thought he sounded a tad out of place. But living and growing up where he did its no real surprise. He doesn't drop his Ts and has no real accent now unlike me who speaks with a Sarf East London accent. It used to bother me, I used to try hard to speak without an accent It was probably a school thing, (1970's), where I and others were ridiculed for not speaking using all the letters correctly. Nowadays it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I actually think most people couldn't give a toss, especially where I work, the majority of my colleagues have a huge array of accents because of where they originate from. Dropping the T is the least of anyones worries.0

I would say 'sarf' is wrong.Should be 'Souf'0

Two different things.1 -
Living up North, when people ask who I support I always say “Charlton” they always reply with “Cheltenham?” Ffs1

If I'm not speaking to someone from London, it can take about 3 attempts before having to do my best Shakesperean impression for them to understand what I'm saying.Pelling1993 said:when i get asked who i support and I drop the T everyone seems to think i say Cheltenham.

I quite often give up, it's not like its any more embarrassing to follow Cheltenham really!Croydon said:

I pronounce the t most of the time, but not always.I don’t pronounce the t when singing/chanting during matches. That would feel weird.But I certainly don’t say Charlton, I say Charlt’n.0

Does castle have a 'T' in it.
When I asked whether it was Shroosberry or Shrosebury last time we were there, I was told neither! There's no 'R' in Shoosberry!

Having reflected on how I say Charlton to your English ears I probably sound like I say Charltin - the Charl rhyming with snarl0

I sing Charl'un
It's not a silent T when I say it. But it has to be when I sing it.0
