Re: lancashire or lancasher
I'm from Lancasher.
 Although when people asked in London where I originally came from, they thought I'd replied Leicestershire!

Re: lancashire or lancasher
I don't think the poll is acurate.
The options are Lancashire, with the end supposedly pronounced shire, or Lancashere, which makes it look as if it's pronounced sheer, as in stockings, or Shere Khan from the Jungle Book.
