I've noticed the tendency to the "Bristol L" has been replaced in younger folk who are proper broad, with the "Bristol W".

Evaw Turner, the Primaw Donnaw ... etc

I've noticed this as well. In particular "Thank yeuw".

I don't recall hearing it pronounced that way before about 10 years ago.

I thought that was a certain part of Bristol? They say that around Sandy Park/South Bristol. Well, I've heard it in St Philips Sainsbury's
