Ooo you're from Birmingham too? Cool! I think it depends which bit you're from yep too and how strong your accent is.

I live in Canada. Back when I went to high school, we had a Chemistry teacher who immigrated from the UK. Mr. Cruikshanks would say Canad-er and Americ-er. He'd pronounce a girl named Bonita as Bonit-er. We'd accept that as the way that he spoke.
But we didn't like how he'd pronounce Aluminum, "A-lu-min-ium" whereas North Americans would say "A-lu-mi-num", or Vitamin as "Vi-ta-min" (short 'I' as in 'hit') where Canadians & Americans pronounce it as "Vite-ta-min" {long 'I' - Vital to have Vitamins).
Canadians and Americans have difficulties understanding British accents the farther north the region the speaker is from. When I first heard Liz McClarnon of Atomic Kitten speak, I couldn't understand some of the things that she was saying because of her accent. I thought that she was from Scotland. I've since learned that she speaks with a Scouse accent. Her fellow Liverpudlian, Natasha Hamilton's accent isn't as strong.
Back to the topic: I've read on other posts at IMDB that people think that Cat Deeley has changed her accent since spending time in America. I've seen clips of her interviewing AK on CD:UK from a few years ago - I don't think that she changed accents. She doesn't sound like an American at all these days. -

'Mom' rhymes with 'Bomb'.
'Mum' rhymes with 'Bum'.
Comment on the way people pronounce 'Girl' depending on their regional accent in the UK.
'Girl' rhymes with 'Earl' in Canada & America.
'Girl' rhymes with 'Barrel' in parts of the UK. -

barrel? wtf we must pronounced that differently aswel because it does not rhyme with barrel. you must pronounce it bur5b4rel. Anyway people in England speak differently like every 5-10 miles so everyone is different here.

She also says "jidges" instead of "judges". I feel like I'm watching Eliza Doolittle.
