General rule of thumb is, if the word was around before the Americas were discovered, then British pronunciation is always correct :)

If you said 'Boo-ee' on a British boat, the crew would collapse in a state of near-terminal hysterics!

27 years in the British military here. British people saying that we say "Loo" are incorrect and have picked that up from American movies. We say Left-tenant. The origins of the word are in the old French rending of the word Lieu was Leuf.

for anyone wonder, the reason we in britain say "Leftennant" insted of "Lootenant" is because our word, even though the spelling was updated to modern french, is pronounced using OLD french "Leuf" instead of the modern "Lieu" - it is still correct, just archaic.

As an Aussie, it was fun to watch- we pronounce some the American way, but most often we use the British pronunciation- and in terms of the word “buoy” I’ve always assumed we pronounce it “boy” because it’s related the the word “Buoyant”

As a Canadian it drives me crazy when people say "nitch", instead of niche. It's definitely a way to spot someone from the US.

There is the whole "on accident" vs "by accident" thing that gets me.

Americans dont understand how other letters affect the Ay and Ah sounds in words, so funny. We learn this in Primary School.
