We've got a Leicester here in Massachusetts which is also pronounced 'Lester'. It is just West of Worcester, which is pronounced 'Wuster'. But they become 'Lestah' and 'Wustah' with a Boston accent.

True to their namesakes then; Leicester is pronouned by the locals as 'Lestah' or 'Lestoh'.

In the UK instead of “booster shot” they say “borcester shot”.
