I've never heard it called "soddering iron" either. But I have to say, with the new breed of idiot children we're graduating these days, all bets are off!
Uh? I'm British, and used to work for an American electronics company. In 20 years, I never heard any American colleague NOT say 'sodder' and 'soddering'! It's something which you just can't help noticing on each occasion you hear it.
Has _anyone_ ever heard it pronounced with the "ell"? ...Jim Thompson

I've been to the UK and never heard the word solder pronounced. :) I must have been hanging about with the wrong people.
Why are they "on" the UK and not "in" the UK? I suppose it's an exclusive club, being in the UK and one must know the secret handshake and password before one is accepted for membership. Until one is accepted, one is merely on the UK as it were, riding a boat.
In N.A.: solder, rhymes with odder. In U.K.: solder, rhymes with alder or maybe more like older.
In North America we pronounce it sodder but we only do it to annoy the imperials. :)
