Louth - it's a town in Lincolnshire
According to my backwards dictionary, "drouth" is an alternative archaic word meaning drought - although it doesn't say whether it is pronounced to rhyme with mouth or youth
There are two megalithic passage tombs in Ireland called Knowth and Dowth.
How about Ralf.
bernardo - fairly sure it's pronounced to rhyme with "youth" as I think I remember my grandmother using it when making a cup of tea "I've got a fair drouth" or something similar. She was very very Scottish!
I agree with BenDToy.
Thanks thewillow, I didn't realise you knew her. ;-)
Bernardo's suggested word 'drouth' is indeed pronounced 'drooth', to rhyme with 'youth', in Scotland to this day, at least among older people. However, although archaic, it is (was) pronounced 'drowth' to rhyme with 'south' in England.

Accordingly, if you don't mind being a bit old-fashioned, you can easily say: "Folks in Louth - though quite far south - might have a drouth."
