how do you pronounce the word can't

[meriad]

do you say

can followed by the nt; or
car followed by the nt

I do the latter so pronounce it more like carn't but I was listening to a radio commercial and they use the top one; and it made me wonder what is more common. Just pondering

A slow day down Woking way?

"Carnt" round this way, sort of, but the r is almost a glottal stop. A bit like CArNT, if that makes sense.

no... it's an ad for BT fibre broadband and he's saying: I can probably stop this now, can't I ?
