Alwight, ow's it gahn?
"Th-fronting describes what happens in words like ‘brother’ or ‘rather’ which are pronounced ‘bruvver’ and ‘ravver’ respectively.
Nah, nah, It ain't 'ravver', it's 'rarva'.
Sweet.
(I wonder if the Thatcher years and the new yuppies caused the spread of London pronounciation into the surrounding counties...)
