Does anyone else pronounce "Soldering" as "Saudering"?

'Mom' is never used in place of Mum in the UK as far as I know.

Maybe"Moom" sometimes! ;D
I just thought Mum might know!

When a Brit says "ma'am" it often sounds like the American "mom" to me. Always gives me a chuckle.

It's the Queen's English while the reigning monarch is the Queen. When the crown passes down to King Charles it will once again become the King's English.

That is generally only used to address a woman who holds the rank of officer in the armed services or other uniformed organizations such as the police.
We don't use it as a general term of respect to a woman as is done in the US
