    Moved in with a guy from tullamore and he pronounces it tellamore. Im from west offaly and i've always heard it pronounced tullamore.

    The spelling is tullamore so i assume im right? :-)

    I'm from Tullamore and I've been told by my country cousins that we townies can't say chocolate without dragging out the first syllable, pronouncing it chalk-lit!!

    We seem to use the word 'peg' for 'throw' quiet a lot. 'Peg your refuse in the bin' or 'peg in the ball' or 'I pegged out all me records years ago' I hope I've spelled it right as it may be an anglicization of some word for throw in Irish.
