how do you pronouce albany and derby then? i say al as in albert, ba,  
knee, and der (like burr) bee. and the first one is lawns (the grassy  
stuff) ton (like i weigh 2 tons)?

Unless you come from near Launceston, where it is commonly pronounced
something like "Laaarnstun" (with heavy West-Country lilt !)
