I have just loved this thread..... living in England we have lots of different dialects and pronounciations....
When we lived in Leicestershire, at school DD was always asked to say the word BATH (as she pronounced it) as they pronounced it BAFF....... they always said that she was posh (she is not and neither are we).
It is a funny old, but lovely cosmopolitan world and I love it!
