I ask because it was mentioned on a Wales Today report. Never ever heard it pronounced like that b4.

My son speaks Welsh he pronounces it slightly differently in Welsh That said why bring Welsh words into English speaking programmes. I agree with Sludge here. It’s the old Cymru/Wales debate again.
Making Porthcawl sound as of its fancy bloody broth is ridiculous. This is not an anti Welsh rant, but it has been pronounced 'call' for ever not 'cowl'.
Name apparently derived from 'Harbour of the sea kale'. Feck all to do with soup.
Same with Powys or Powis?
Whenever I hear places pronounced in the Welsh language I feel slightly guilty that I'm lazy and use the Anglicised version.
Why is Merthyr Tydfil referred to as Merthyr Tudful on some road signs? Isn’t Tydfil Welsh?
Never heard locals calling in 'cawl' and it does grate a bit when I hear it on Radio Wales. As I posted earlier the 'cawl' bit has nothing to do with soup so I think it is perfectly reasonable to argue, and not in an anti Welsh language way that it should continue to be pronounced 'call' .
It was v definitely “cowl” as in Batman’s cape. It was used by one of the many Tomos’s on BBC Wales. (Prerequisites for job?)
I remember now. Even more cringeworthy as it was on main BBC News.
The cringeworthy one is the person who's started a thread angered by someone pronouncing a word.
I'm not very good at spotting multi accounts but the thread title has a strong Cedric vibe (?)
