Scotland
My parents lived in Scotland for a few years where my younger brother endured being the only English boy at the local junior school.

One day, he asked his English (subject) teacher how to spell "bought". "B O A T" she told him.

We still wonder to this day how the Scots pronounce "bought". Perhaps they have no need for such a word?

There's a Christopher Brookmyre book
which makes reference to posh people living in 'boat hooses'; that is, a domicile which they, rather than the local council, own. So apparently the two are just switched.
