Remind me to buy some shares in Solvol Autosol polish if you're getting an aluminium one. Oh and just so we can get it correct it's pronounced (Al-U-Min- E- um )
I heard once that the scientific community was pondering changing the spelling to aluminium, just so UK scientific community would be in harmony with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, a british metallurgist asked, "Why would you change it to Al-U-Min-E-In-E-Um?"
Actually, I think it was George Carlin who reported that.
