How to say the word 'Aluminium'

I guess I knew when my daughters had become 'American' when I asked them to pronounce this word to me. How this got re-translated over the pond is a mystery to me, but it has to be up there as one of the biggest in terms of differences (along with route, pronounced r-out in the US, r-oo-t in the UK).

UK - Al-la-min-i-um

US - Al-loo-mi-um

When I now look at the work, I guess 'Alu' would seem a good translation to the yanks. But should you ever venture to our green lands and land in B&Q (its exactly the same as The Home Depot) ... why would you want to go to B&Q on holiday/ vacation looking for aluminium is beyond me .. but in case you do, we like our "la's" not our "loo's"
