I pronounce it both ways - blame it on being a Libran from the Midlands!
I was once at a dinner party where another guest insisted that he told his children (not from an English-speaking country) that it was no problem to spell in English if you just listened to how the word was said. I sent him the following (and he never said thank you which is a bit rude
)
Brush up your English
I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, lough and through.
Well done! And now you wish perhaps
To learn the less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead, it’s said like bed not bead,
For goodness sake don’t call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.)
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there’s dose and rose and lose -
Just look them up - and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword,
And do and go and thwart and cart,
Come, come I’ve hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Man alive,
I’d mastered it, when I was five.
