I also find mispronunciation of 'tissue' hugely annoying. No, you fool - you're confusing the word with 'atishoo' because the two are related in theme.
People who cannot pronounce 'licquorice' also irritate me.

fortunately all the northerners who come down here end up swept out to sea, so I don't have to put up with them.

Ah, so that's why scones are so creamy in Devon. They're filled with Vipros' "fucking jam"
