As a southerner permanently (I hope) relocated to Yorkshire, your opening para made me smile. I've been here five and a half years now and sometimes a short 'a' slips out. It doesn't help that my favourite local pub is called the Bath, and I spend a lot of time talking to the class, sometimes about social class, at which point I get very self conscious... I've noticed though that a lot of my bona fide northern colleagues are more nesh than me.
