    I pronounce room as rum. Not quite sure where I picked it up. Wonder if it was picked up when I was growing up in Wembley? Though I was only there until I was four! Does anyone have any idea of how they pronounce room there? :p I'm so conscious of it now since it was pointed out to me a couple times and I deliberately try to say it properly! :pac:

    I turn nearly every "s" into a "sh".

    E.g.
    Stop -> Shtop
    Whilst -> Whilsht
