Staid and stayed
Choral and coral are homophones in Aussie English too.

I'd say "choral" as caw-rule and "coral" as co-rall
(the way I pronounce the second syllable would be greatly influenced by
my Estuary English but I think the first syllable is standard British English)

choral
adjective
UK /ˈkɔː.rəl/
US /ˈkɔːr.əl/

coral
UK /ˈkɒr.əl/
US /ˈkɔːr.əl/

There is actually a subtle difference in the US pronunciations
too but the character gets changed when I paste.
