I have a question specifically for people from the British Isles. What do you think about the final "t" in the word "restaurant" being silent or audible?

A — must be silent; that's just the way it's pronounced correctly
B — silent is posh, audible is normal
C — silent is British, audible is non-British (North American, for example)
D — something else (please add comment to elaborate)

Boosts appreciated!

@xahteiwi Not voting because not from the British Isles, but a native English speaker, and will say that for some reason "restaurant" is one of those words that, if you actually think about how it's pronounced, starts to feel weird and unravels in your mouth really quickly.
