I always thought it was pronounced 'glosster' ...

  It is, I think GP means it makes sense if you view the syllable break there, and then shorten it and say it quickly because you're lazy and that's what happens.

    Yep, exactly, thanks. Mainly my point was "it makes sense if you consdier that the syllable break is after Glouce rather than after Glou".

      I was somewhere between baffled and delighted when I discovered that Bicester is pronounced "Bister".
