This will no doubt be a useful piece of knowledge one of these days.

And the bridge in Oxford is pronounced Reginald.
Similarly, Warwick Drive in Calgary is pronounced War-wick, and Norwich in Ontario is pronounced Nor-wich. Hence, I doubt that I will ever be able to live in either.

Nor will I live in Balzac, Alberta.
