"fair" and then midway between cluff and clow.
"clowf" but not with a fully formed "f", more the shape of the mouth when you'd be beginning to sound an f. |

| It's "cluff", and anyone who said any differently in this country would be laughed out of town. |

I would pronounce it the same way I pronounce trough.
So, Fair-'cloff' but a bit of a softer 'o'. In between o and u... You know what I mean? |

Knew someone with the last name Clough and he pronounced it "cluff" so I'll go with "fair-cluff." |

Well, if the resident Englishman (the person I'm talking about comes from Lancaster) and someone acquainted to at least one Clough say it's Cluff, then I guess I'll adopt this pronunciation.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one confused by all this though, and I'm not the only to think it's Clow/Chloe :p |

You're officially TA's living guide to the UK! So, what's Cape Town like? :p
(Seriously, though: Edinburgh, Lancaster, London... where else?) |

The UK is little, so I've been to lots of places. I can only say I've "lived" in a few places though.
And while I have been to South Africa, I must say, with disappointment, that I never made it to Cape Town. This was our road trip (and then we drove right back again - around 3700km on the full return trip, and it was amazing):

| I think he meant that the person with the name Fairclough comes from Lancaster. |
