Pretentious people say Pawth and Bawth.
West Country folk say Baff and Paff.
People that don't like Bath say Barf ( as in Puke) ( I LOVE Bath personally, especially at xmas when you have the amazing christmas market sheds all around Bath Abbey. Bath is a Beautiful city and with loads of Independent shops, a great place for buying a present.
