Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".

I'm from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that's reasonably correct?

I do Woor-cest-er-sure.

Also northeast US but a lot less pin downable. I think of it like a slurred "war-chest" sound. But the "C" seems unused by most.
