Pronunciation of Entwistle
Does anyone know the correct or most common pronunciation of the family name Entwistle. For example, John Alec Entwistle (bass guitar player for The Who). I believe that it is also the name of a town in Lancashire, England.
Many thanks.

Blackpool! The tourist centre of the north! (At least for us northern folk...) :-) ! Do you still have a regional accent and intonation or have these morphed into something more international in all your travels?

It's still there! It sometimes fades a bit, but a week or two at home usually brings it completely back!
After returning from home once, back to Singapore, a Welsh flatmate I had at the time said to 'What's happened to you voice? It's gone all weird and I can't understand you!'
Even though I don't think it's that strong in general, any ex-pats or new colleagues I meet always gue
