A Geordie woman walks into a hairdressers in Newcastle and asks “Can you give us a perm”..Hi per bow lee is correct. Don't confuse regional accents such as pronunciation of Bath though. I work in Borlton to the locals, Bolton to the rest of us. My former father in law was from Sussex, he had sorlt on his chips. Likewise he visited Barth. On that matter some of our brethren live in Liverpewel.
We might know how to pronounce a word but accents may interfere, which is contibutes to the richness of our language in my opinion.
