How is the family name Michelmore pronounced in Britain?

(Recently I have been watching music-production videos by his son, the composer Guy Michelmore. I love his enthusiasm and sense of humor.)

Yeah, that is remarkable and it's cool that they haven't all been homogenized into some kind of standard unilect.

Get enough immigration and a low enough birth rate, things will change.

That's called globalism.
And that's a good thing. 🙂

If it was Globalism it would be happening in all countries, not just European nations.
