Boowa Street

Today we decided to go to our new favourite shop, Meg Popple on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley. On the way there we saw Bulwer Street. Now, this street never really stood out as being terribly special but that was before we spent a good 5 minutes discussing the pronunciation of "Bulwer"

Try saying it a few times. No matter which way you say it, it sounds ridiculous. Is it meant to be read phonetically - BULL WERE? Or is it a silent L - BOOWER? Is it a silent W - BULLER? We came to the conclusion that it sounds best as BOOWA street and from now on, that it what we shall call it.

The more times you say it the funnier it sounds....it seems we are entertained quite easily on Saturdays with killer hangovers!
