It depends which part of the UK the person comes from,
accents can change within parts of towns and County areas surrounding it.So much so that those familiar with those accents can place people extremely accurately, within yards sometimes. Since multi-national TV and films being so prolific , these distinct local words and accents have been watered down somewhat. Thankfully these accents do still exist, but on the whole they are much less broad than they used to be, but even now there is no standard accent or standard pronounciation within the UK, in spite of the Oxford Dictionary’s valiant efforts over the last of couple of centuries or so , to guide us with their phonetic spelling guide with each word.
