A few years ago my wife and I went to the Lake District. Yes, and I splashed my hands in Coniston Water. When we went to Windermere, I asked a local woman where the steam launch museum was. She told me it was just this side of the "la'ek". You could almost see the diarisis floating over the "e". I am stuck halfway between using the official phonetic symbols and transcribing speech as it sounds. In the latter, she said, "lay-ek." Or something similar.
