Pronunciation of British place names

To create this post I used howjsay.com and ipa.typeit.org. The default accent on my blog is British RP.

Ex. Spell the following words phonetically.

1. Reading, 2. the Thames, 3. Leicester, 4. Gloucester, 5. Worcester, 6. Powys, 7. Torquay, 8. Edinburgh, 9. Isles of Scilly, 10. Inverness


KEY
1. /'redɪŋ/, 2. /ðə 'temz/, 3. /'lestə/, 4. /'glɒstə/, 5. /ˈwʊstə/, 6. /'poʊɪs/, /'pɑʊɪs/, 7. /tɔː'kiː/, 8. /'edɪnbᵊrə/, 9. /ɑɪlz əv 'sɪli/, 10. /ɪnvəˈnes/
