Issue and Tissue

Do you pronounce this like ishoo or like issyew?

Is this a normal / posh divide or is one of them just a mispronunciation?

It really annoys me when people say issyew. I just heard it in a video I'm watching so I just thought I'd see what other people think.

    Out of the two I'd say the first one though mine are more "aaaaachooo". We used to gave a teacher wgo sneezed high pitched like "achoo". Short sharp and almost only dogs could hear. It was like she was pronouncing the word. I think everyones different

    I can't work out how those two sound different.

    It might be a regional accent think like bath/barth.
