If you say them like that... well, that's how the Americans say them. So it must be wrong! We're BRITISH. Pronounce words how the Queen would say them. Not how Barack Obama would say them!

Well, that must mean that the Queen is Southern (OK, that's a given) and the Americans are Northern (or at least Midlands or above) as that's how we differentiate round here!
