I would like to add:


Always called it 'a roke' round our neck of the woods...


Is this just ER - I've not heard it anywhere else.

Dad always pronounced it somewhere between "rawk" and "rork" (Jones
persists in calling it a "sea rogue" - I can't see why he can't get
his tongue round it when place names like Dwygyfylchi are no problem)
