Yes - the local pronunciation is GREEN-itch, and if you asked anyone around
here how to get to GREN-itch, the correct answer would be to go to Halifax
airport, take a flight to London, England, then take the underground.  Also,
the "w" is silent in both place names. Incidentally, Paul Elderkin (who
first saw the Y-T warbler at his feeder and alerted Bernard) didn't see it
yesterday.
