They’re both fairly straightforward I would say
“great” to rhyme with “meat”
“thread” to rhyme with “bead”

Never sure on Dälek. I’ve seen that it’s supposed to be pronounced like ‘dialect’, but I still don’t feel like I’m saying it right. Luckily no one else seems to be sure on it either, so conversations tend to steer clear of it, or revert back to a phonetic pronunciation (sans diacritics) when it’s absolutely necessary to refer to them.
That’s Paul-ah-nick apparently! Fucks me up too!
I quite like saying place names phonetically for my own amusement.
Ruislip is an old favouite.

There’s a place near Winchester called Wherwell.
No idea.
It’s probably more like “Wirral” knowing the twats down here. Local examples: Cheesefoot Head, Alresford.
YESSSSS!
“Port please”
– “Cockburn, or are you just thirsty?”
BOOM. EXTRA FIVER TIP EVERY TIME.
