    If you didn't pronounce any of the letter Ts - where do you live?</p>

    I live in Leeds and nobody here pronounces anyletter Ts that are mid-word, yet I'm sure in Barnsley they do.....what about elsewhere?</p>

    My Mother Finds 'T's where they don't exist

    Ever since I was a nip she has pronounced Huddersfield as 'Huttersfield'

    Bizarre.
