How do you pronounce 'Lytchett'

They don't say Lyechette or Lichette, they say Lytchett (correctly in English)

In old English, they would sometimes pronounce the "E" on the end of a word, but that was really confusing and has been dropped in Modern English and become what is now known as a "silent E" - you don't say it.  However, people like me who speak more than 1 language tend to pick up the habits of those languages and would probably pronounce the "E".

Wikipedia has a page about it here.

So, which video clip is the correct pronunciation?...They both pronounce 'Lytchett' differently.

I would guess it depends where you are from, even English would say it different.

Do you say Barth or Bath? grarss or grass?

Would you say the narrators of the two clips had much regional variation in their accents?....the second clip sounds a bit posher!

edit: 1st clip @22 seconds. Just listened to how she says 'BUs stop'..sounds like she's northern orignally but moved to the south and picked-up a more southern accent.

I'm a Londoner (not a Cockney), so the "a" become "ar".

Ah - so you mean the "Y" bit; well, in English, the letter "Y" at the start of a word is said like "je" (like yacht).  Many words that have the "Y" in the middle (so Gym, myth") it sounds like an "I" (as in Jim), but on the end, it reflects changes to vowels it changes the pronunciation (like "bay"), or can add an "ee" (as in "many") to the end.

So to answer your question, the 2nd link you provided is correct.

That's what I would have described as a southern accent, so perhaps Avon, Hampshire, Wiltshire, maybe northern/eastern Somerset region; it's not quite as bad as West Somerset/Devon.

My English has got a bit confused; because I speak Dutch more and more, I tend to say words in the Dutch way, so I will say words ending in "ed" as distinct letters.  I say Dutch-German words as they would say them; so I don't day Cologne, I say Koln; I don't say Flushing, I say Vlissingen, I don't say Munich etc etc etc.
