Fun fact: the "o" [in "lover"] sounding the same as the "u" in "cut" is actually an "a" in spanish.

As fun as that, also in italian. Though of course the British pronounciation of vowels is far from being as "clear cut" as in spanish or italian.

Not in my accent! I think you'll have to be more specific.

(both accents fairly neutral, English from England, Spanish from Spain)

That's curious. I have never heard the word "cut" being pronounced without the "a" sound (in the vecinity of how "cat" sounds in "category") by someone who had a neutral English accent. Where is it from?
