You mean they don't have several Loughboroughs in NZ or Aus? Well if I was from Loughborough, I'd actually be upset!

Oh sorry silly me  ::) Though one supposes at some point it must have been used as "aboriginal Australian"- such a shame no one bothered to ask how they referred to themselves.

I'm not aware of any Loughborough in NZ at least, so have not heard anyone pronounce the word any way at all. Nothing would surprise me though, given how sloppy NZers are with their speech generally.I want to delete thios one but can't.
