Most English and Welsh accents are "non-rhotic" meaning they don't pronounce "r"s and would pronounce "Mars" as "mahs".

I'm from Ireland which does have rhotic accents, along with Scotland. I'm mostly used to hearing the English accents but occasionally it does lead to fun misunderstandings like hearing "carving" as "calving".
