How do the britons pronounce "Zebra"?

With an 'e' as in 'bed'.

Incidentally, if you are referring collectively to all modern-day inhabitants of Britain (as opposed to those here, say, in the time of the Romans), the customary term is 'the British'! (An individual from Britain, however, can still be termed 'a Briton').

/zebrə/
