It was a characteristic of London English, but has now spread to other areas. Sometimes known as ‘glottalisation’. Very irritating!

Can somebody please tell me what has happened to the letter T? Or should I say "le'er"? It seems to be disappearing comple'ely. I'm watching Springwatch and just heard a young man almost swallow his tonsils saying "accessibili'y"
Am I the only person to be irri'a'ed by this? Has anyone else no'iced tha' this is happening?
