I'm from Bradford and so was my Grandad. He pronounced the word the second way, but I pronounce it as in fork.
He also pronounced book, and cooker with the sound 'oo' like Fool whereas I pronounce it with the sound 'u' like buck, cucker
Should I start another Poll?

Sorry, but Shrewsbury is Shr-ohs-burry. Shrew's Berry (as in the small mouse like creature) is only for Americans who also say Ingerland and
Gl-ow-sester (or Gl-ow-sester-shy-err).
I seem to remember there's a place in Devon that the locals call curtain, but I'm damned if I can remember the proper name!

Don't know how you crackers manage to get two syllables out of "ham", pronounced 'hay-um'.
In the US, Brit names are often dutifully pronounced with every syllable intact, such as 'Wor-chester-shyre'.
Where did these jawbreakers come from? Personal favorite: Cholmondeley.
