Many people in southeastern England do not pronounce the t in the middle or at the end of words. In the old days it was mostly Londoners who spoke Cockney English who did this. Now there’s a new form of English called Estuary English where the t’s are also dropped. It’s called Estuary English because it started in the area around the River Thames.
