‘I work in an environment with multiple people from around the country.

Everyone piled in on the pronunciation of ‘nougat’ over lunch and it got disproportionately heated. There was no consensus, but bizarrely the South West and Northerners both said it different (like ‘nugget’) to the South-East Englanders and Scots (‘noo -gah’). Then there were some outliers calling it ‘noo-gat’. Discovered a strange dividing line that day.’
