There's an article on the OED website today about pronunciation problems and it turns out I must be posher than I think. If way of speaking is an indicator.
As far as I'm concerned there is no argument about any of the words under question although I am puzzled by the inclusion of caramel: I would have thought there was only one way to say that.
For the rest it's mainly an American British divide rather than an internal British divide but in each case I'm on the standard British side.

Caramel?
Don't tell me, it's caramel if you're really posh … and if you're a bit common, you just slobber 'toffee' through stuck together teeth?
That might be it, sonata!
