[Amusingly contemplating a trolling war about the pronunciation of "troll"]

Well they sound the same in my more-or-less South London accent.
I can't write those funny phonetic symbols (and I hate to
imagine the Unicode encoding hoops I'd have to jump through
to make them readable anyway) but both "o"s sound short to me.
Like "bot" rather than "boat" using your example.
