Depends where you come from. In south Lincolnshire, where it originates, it's definitely pronounced 'Hayce-let'. I've heard 'hazlet' in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and in some parts of northern Lincs that have evidently been corrupted by their proximity to Yorkshire. I've amended accordingly.Bedesboy (talk) 11:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
