HOW do you pronouce Bury? That was the topic of a nationwide heated discussion on Wednesday's BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show.
The debate was led by Bury woman Victoria Derbyshire who is the show's new presenter.
She believes the town should be pronouced: "Berry", and throughout the show many people rang in to agree or disagree.
On Thursday Top Gear presenter, and Bury lad, Steve Berry said: "Depending where people live it is either "Bury" or "Berry" but I think the 'u' should be pronounced."
