Strange. I'm sure most Brits would say /ˈeɪʒə/ as most other native speakers do. /ˈeɪʃə/ isn't so common. I've heard some hypercorrect people saying /eIzia/.According to PhoTransEdit 1.5;
BrE -- ˈeɪʤə
AME --ˈeɪʒə
But according to Collins English Dictionary (via Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary), it is pronunciated as ˈeɪʃə and ˈeɪʒə, which are the only versions I have heard 'til now.
( ʃ-shine / ʒ - genre)
