I remember hearing a Cornishman joke many years ago:

Outsider: Now then, which word do you use round here? Nyther or neether?
Cornishman: Nather. We don't use the word at all.
My dialect lecturer at college:There are two distinct ways to say 'u' as in 'cup' - the southern way (cuhp) and the northern way (coop).
Me: Um, no, there's at least three. At home* we say 'curp'.
Lecturer: Er...

And of course some Londoners say 'cap', and I'm sure there are more variations too.

* 'Home' being rural Oxfordshire.
