Lurry or Lorry?

[Colinsin29]

Which do you think is the correct pronunciation of the same word?

[Scarlett]

LORRY. Otherwise it would be spelt LURRY.

[Another Dave]

It's lurry. Otherwise we'd all sound like people from Bolton.

[Colinsin29]

I wasn't asking on the spelling or i could of asked how do you spell the most complex molecular molecule known to man?

[Colinsin29]

Good on you Dave..

[Numbers]

Wagon. :-p

[brawburd]

Is this to do with Lurpak/ Lorpak?

[Wraith]

Lorry.

[MrsCheeks]

its lorry of course!! flat O sound as in ORANGE. You don't say Urange do you?? And no, I dont come from Bolton ... what has coming from there got to do with pronunciation?

[Numbers]

Same as coming from any place often dictates how certain words are pronounced! 'Lurry' is also used by Salfordian Mark E. Smith of popular beat combo The Fall, so I imagine it's peculiar to the general Manchester area. Some people even pronouce 'tortoise' to rhyme with poise rather than puss...

As for Another Dave's Bolton reference, it seems to have a parallel in South Yorkshire, where Sheffielders are derided by those around them for speaking differently.
