Like over 'ere we pronounce things like militry instead of military. Also catagry, libry, ect ect.
We also say things like - not half!, buggery and fooking blighter.
Oh and that one that confused me thee most. Process, we pronounce it like this - PRO-cess.
Also the word "ass" was something I would pronounce like I would with the word "as".
I'm going to drink me my bloody hot cup'o tea.........once it cools down that is.
My dear fellow, I believe the correct pronunciation (according to Queen's English) is 'arse', as in 'Let's kick some arse' (which is, apparently, something the Queen often says).
Are you going to have a chinwag while having a cuppa, and will you be having crumpets? Or is that just not cricket?
