I think it's this 'modern' style of English rapidly spreading through the country.

Gimme a 'C', gimme a 'H'...

The worse thing about it is that I understood every single word of that without trying

Could you use a few of our chavs? If so we'll send you the whole population of Massachusetts, or at least Boston.

I agree with this and it's a bugbear of mine - no one says "I'll see you in A hour", do they? It's "I'll see you in AN hour...." Sometimes the "h" sound is silent....

 

And looking in the dictionary, the letter H is prounounced "AITCH" not "HAITCH".

 

Rant over.
