Aha!I knew I hadn't imagined it. I remember seeing an old black-and-white advert with the lack of accent in both spelling and pronunciation.
It was on some documentary or other. I'm sure they said that the adding of the accent was a marketing thing to make them sound posh.

Having been bored and intrigued enough to look it up, Wikipedia says the pronunciation was originally nessuls and is now neslays.(
