Interesting all the possible ways to pronounce 'Worcester'. As a native of the area, I tend to agree with the 'Wuster' people but I think I actually pronounce it more like 'Wus ta". We hardly ever pronounce the 'r' as anything but 'a', which is why were ever I live, someone will say, "Where are you from??" <smile> (even with a Yankee accent it is still SMILE)
