Worcester Mass is generally pronounced Wooster.

Well, New Englanders have yet another dialect. My mom and her side are all from the Boston area. My grandma came for a visit and was questioned as to "what are you"? Of course, grandma being grandma her response was "I . . . . am an American!"

I don't know how much enjoyment there was. I mean, they are having to ride Beemers.

The original comment was tongue in cheek. And for reference, in the US, you wouldn't do that w/o encountering someone wanting to hassle you. Some would cite, others would warn. The school would be good to have a bus for lunch runs.
