Before WWII, the pronunciation would have been "Rizdin". Locals were mocked because of their odd pronunciation but the original name of the town was Risdene, so their pronunciation was right and it's the new spelling that's wrong. Other towns in East Northants are similar in having the pronunciation reflecting original spellings. For instance, Irthlingborough should be pronounced "Artleborough". -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK. E-mail: newsman, not newsboy. "What use is happiness? It can't buy you money."
