I seem to remember adverts saying 'neslays'. Advertisers should be better educated.

"albaqwerty, as there are no accents in English it is correctly pronounced nessals in English, more importantly though it annoys foriegners! "

If you look closely you'll see that there is in fact an accent over the second "e".
It does, admittedly, look like the English word "nestle", "to settle in a warm and comforting space", rather appropriately, perhaps. What is more, pronouncing it correctly means war with Switzerland has now been avoided ...

a mobile home is a huge static caravan which stays put and doesn't get dragged round europe.

How do you pronounce cafe, lame, decollete etc? (you're going to have to imagine the accents I'm afraid :-) )

Not forgetting:

fiance (as in engaged man)
pate (as in duck liver)
resume (as in CV)
rose (as in wine)
expose (as in news story)
