As long as you don't put an "R" in it then it's fine

As a southerner, I admit - it should be baff.

It's all the same to a northerner. "Ah" sounds the same as "R" to us. If it doesn't sound the same a "little a" then it's wrong

Nope! I have tons of the bags for life but I always forget them! So I always end up having to buy another 10 on my next shop or I'll just buy another 10 plastic bags.

They all get used to bag up rubbish or various other household uses ha ha.

I think you get the idea

The long vowels came about in the early Georgian era. Because the royal family were German their English was basically shit.

They tended to elongate vowels...so baaarth etc.

Suckholes in the court circles started to imitate them....hence it spread into the southeast areas among those too ignorant to know the difference.

Correct pronunciation is a short a as in cat. Not as in barn!

I say "bath" as in "path", obviously

However I don't pronounce "house" as "hice", so there's hope for me yet.

Surely the pertinent question isn't "what is your accent?" but instead "would one still meet someone who didn't talk like wot they orter?"
