I went to school in the north west of England, Harry, in the quaint little market town of Wigan. In Lancashire (and Yorkshire) the local pronunciation of 'tea' was 'tay', so we kids were always in danger of a clip round the ear if we talked of 'tay'. Fahh, fahhh too working class, was that.
After twenty-five years in France, where word 'tea' is spelt thé and pronounced 'tay', I now feel like a naughty boy however I pronounce it.
And that's one good reason for drinking beer instead.
Cheers. Neil
