I'm from Hampshire, where apparently we have no accent scratch Can't really judge, obviously 'cause I'm used to it. I say that poorly rhymes with Hawley, but I do pronounce Hawley, horrly.

Im from Leeds and I think that Poorly sounds more like Surely than Hawley. I suppose it depends on your accent though.

Hmm, Surely sounds like poorly and hawley. Although, the Leeds accent is a bit weird. No offence.

I think I need to lock this. It's clear that pretty much every region and nationality will pronounce poorly differently, rendering this thread pointless. Plus, who gives a flying sh*t?
