Phil Neville was on 5Live a few years ago talking about Ferguson and how he had trusted "Lootentants". I think it was Mark Champan doing the interview who also started saying Lootenants instead of what would have been the correct BBC form. I immediately attributed it to some United bias and not wanting to embarrass poor Phil!

I find accents fascinating throughout the UK, especially in England as I recognise quite a few from places such as Stoke Leeds Mansfield Nottingham Middlesbrough Portsmouth Southampton etc etc. It's local dialect for obvious reasons of subtle differences. Talking to local in pubs and working with guys from all over the UK and I'm travelling to places for work has given me understanding of differences of accent.
