As an American, a Brit saying "tune" sounds just like tyoon to me. Not choon. I hear the _exact_ same initial sounds in almost every case. (Th being the exception. Th becomes just T in some UK dialects.) Is this something not in RP? Have a sample I could listen to?
I've been listening to the BBC on shortwave for the past twenty minutes now trying to understand what you mean, but I just can't hear your pronunciations...
