Luc, Ron:

Nottingham English does not use [h]. So much so, in fact, that NE speakers
really have to stop and think to articulate it, even though we absorb the
sound through school, television and the rest of the wider linguistic world.

Interestingly, however, some sub-variants insert [h] where there should be
none - usually between vowels - while retaining deleted [h] in ordinary
position, so that 'an egg' becomes 'a hegg' while 'a hat' remains 'an at',
'an igloo' becomes 'a higloo', and so on. This is primarily associated with
children's speech, however.

Go raibh maith agat
