I live about an hour and a half south or Worcester, and hear it pronounced similary, like "WUH stuh", with emphasis on the first syllable. I intentionally pronounce it how it looks, like "war-cess-ter". Thats what I hate worse about living in New England. If you aren't going to pronounced the damn "r", then don't spell it with an "r"!!!!.

Where I work we build submarines and deal with "parts". When I first started, a guy kept talking about "pahts" or "pots". I had no freakin clue what he was talking about. I finally figured out he was talking about PARTS. Pretty funny
