the "y" of Ye Olde is actually an "olde" english variant of "รพ" which has a hard "th" sound like "think" or "bath" but not the soft "th" of "this" or "that".

So "ye olde" is actually pronounced "the old" with the e silent.

You mean like in Northern?

It's like a mix of Ray Winstone, Danish, Scottish and Australian.
