I'm reminded of Lord Peter getting drunk in Parliament Square at the end of Clouds of Witness -- "Hush," said his lordship. "Don' wake baby, theresh good shoul. Neshle'sh baby--jush shee 'm neshle, don't he neshle nishely?" (He is referring to the Nestle's baby drinking milk in the neon sign, which he has recently shown to Mrs. Grimethorpe, as well as Inspector Parker curled up asleep under the statue of Palmerston.)

I say "Mish-a-lin" for tires and "Blue Guide" for travel guides. Not sure what I'd say for the restaurants, as it's never been relevant to my life. I've always assumed they were all too hideously expensive for me to even contemplate, which may or may not be true.
