[LRflex] Re: Feeling "Chuffed"

Dear M. David Chuffed Young,

Alice and I share your elation and are pleased of such an opportunity to 
congratulate you on this highly deserved success :-) .
In short, well done David!

BTW: As a non-native speaker of English, I'm curious to know if this 
dialectal "chuffed" is pronounced as a rhyme for "David" or for "craft" 
. Unfortunately none of my pronouncing dictionaries provided me with a 
clue...

Thanks in anticipation.
