Taken at face value, that makes me definitely not a "CIC"
speaker, because I most certainly distringuish between
"born" ([bO:rn]) and "barn" ([bA:rn]).

I believe I use the same vowel in "cot" and "caught", but
clearly not in "cart" and "court". (I use the same vowel in
"cot", "caught" and "cart".)
