Okay, I realise that some people have accents but where does the "c" come from? If you watch coronation street they all say opsical.

because in the dark ages we all lived in isolated villiges, each village devloped it's own way of speaking ant theirfore we have accents.
I Live in Barnsley South Yorkshire, we se things r the sarnd, wi dunt put air's n graces on it. for instance why is water pronounced woter and not watter?

Up north where? What country?
I've never heard the word pronounced in any way other than Hospital, and I live in the North East of the USA.

If your meaning the north of England its basically cos they are lazy when they talk and don't pronounce the letter H. I am from near Manchester and everyone is the same but as you head up to Scotland they say Hospital, its just a lazy way of talking. Its like paople saying 'afort' e.g Do I afort do that? instead of so I have to?

Well I am a fervent Corrie watcher and I have NEVER heard this pronunciation. You must remember this is fiction - and I'm sure everyone in the east end doesn't speak "like what they do" on the BBC soap. Why do people in the "Sauff" persist in saying up North?

I reckon that Liverpool counts as "Up north" and the most commonly used phrase when describing a visit to the hospital is "goin down the ozzy". You know after a 'scrap'!? Personally being from the other 'pool' as in Blackpool, we say 'goin up the Vic' so 'ospicle' (as it should be spelt! LOL!) sure ain't used round 'ere (God look aren't I lazy!).

We don't all say that!
It's just that with some regional dialects, it sounds like ospical.
translation:
its jus' dat wiv sum rejanul daleks, it souns like ospical.
