Where I come from Grass and Maths have the same A vowel sound.As for Bath, one of my mother’s sisters married a guy from Timsbury, Somerset just after the war, it’s about 8 miles from Bath.
As my aunt, in common with my mother and all their family, came from the Elephant and Castle, in S.E. London, Bath was known to all of us, still is, as Bahth, or more often as Barf.
Whilst holidaying in the delightfully quaint Geek fishing village of Kavos in 1999 my compadres and I made the acquaintance of a similarly jolly group of excursionists from the Bath area.
They very much pronounced it as Barth.
We went on to have many a jolly jape in which they pronounced it with a flat a to mimic our Yorkshire accents and in return we would refer to our hometown as Doncarster. What larks.

That was informative and amusing DRFC, but what else would I expect from someone who holidays among a bunch of Geeks in a village named Kavos?They very much pronounced it as Barth.

For anyone interested in trying Geek Fishing, I can recommend the watch forum. They very much pronounced it as Barth.

I go in there every once in a while, drop a line in, and always catch a at least a couple.

Mmm yes, they are a bit easy to wind up.I go in there every once in a while, drop a line in, and always catch a at least a couple.
"Easy to wind up", that's a great strap line.

Many people from Shrewsbury suggest it’s actually neither. It’s Shoesbury. Now is it neither or neither?
Do you mean neether or nyether, and are they confusing Shoesbury with Shoeburyness, Essex?FWIW, I say Shrowsbury, more to wind my wife up than anything else.
