Funny how different generations seem to use different ways of saying things.

My parents and other family of their age group (70s) always call the QEW "the Queen E" but I rarely hear it termed that way by anyone younger; most just say the letters. There must be other towns where the same thing happens, especially if their name (like Norwich) is that of a British or European place originally pronounced differently than the spelling indicates.
