  Thanks to Warren Kinney for distinguishing the British pronunciation of "new" and "knew"

I'm confused about this. I'm from London, and I say these two words exactly the same way.

I think in some places one is pronounced "noo" and one is "niew," although honestly I could see either one for either meaning.
