Richard_Swift The post-vocalic 'r' would only be sounded in rhotic accents like Bristolian, Cornish or..um..Pirate.

knightofthe21stcentury (minus the repetitivity, if that is a real word.).
I would love to hear an episode of Just A Minute in which Nicholas Parsons tells Clement Freud that he has to talk without "repetitivity, deviativity or hesitativity."

As an outsider living in the West Country it actually makes things difficult come 'Talk like a Pirate Day' - I try to do my best piratey accent, but everyone just thinks I'm taking the piss out of their natual speech patterns.

I mean, Sir Henry Morgan, one of the most famous pirates in the world (mentioned in two Pirates of the Caribbean movies and face of my favourite brand of rum) was either from Glamorgan or Abergavenny, depending on who you ask. If you don't have a Welsh accent, I bet you could affect one. pirate
All we have to do is wait for the day to roll around again and then take to the streets with banners saying Support Multicultural Piracy! domokun heart
