I always heard the American version and the crows were found near Boston.

Boston, like most English accents, is non-rhotic

(We don't pronounce the "r" at the end of words in the UK either)

Depends on the region really.

People in the Ashford area would not really pronounce "car" like "cah".

And they couldn't say "truck".

Edit: Not sure why the downvote, but in the American versions I've heard, the crows say "car" with a Boston accent, and the punchline goes: They discovered that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not say "Truck."

That's what I was trying to add to the post I replied to, since the word "lorry" isn't really used here.

Nah that’s what we prefer. Philly and Pitt are about 3 hours from me, Harrisburg area is about an hour, Penn State is half hour, we measure everything that way.

Close, LewisTOWN area is where I’m from. It’s kinda a shithole if you didn’t know. Kinda big Heroin town, we’ve had a few shootings this year, about a week ago some guy “allegedly” shot his girlfriend in the face after work and dumped her body by a boat access area. It’s semi isolated though a SMALL section of town is ghetto w slum lords owning basically everything. That’s where Shootings are happening for the most part. Stay out when it’s dark kinda thing…..but for the size of our town? That shouldn’t be a thing

Sorry about misspelling...I haven't been to that area since 2005. I didn't live there, just passed thru. I didn't recall the towns size... Hopefully you've made it out safely...

Oh no there’s a LewisBERG too it’s over by Danville

I’m still in that county just a different “town” of it. Honestly we need a few raids. Police mostly know where things are they just CANT do anything about it cause no one is reporting it or whatever (no reason to investigate).
