[greeen]. (Hs are always silent at the beginnings of French words, and for some unknown reason French people ADD Hs when saying English words starting in a vowel..Happle, Hever, Honly...colour me clueless as to why)[/geeen]

I have a friend, a Lancashire man, who does exatly the same. He drops H's from the beginning of words like horse, and adds them before initial vowels. Has nyone heard of that famous literary character, Captain Hay'ab?
