Exactly! It's not even a class thing as some of the poshest & most expensive schools in Strathclyde preach it![b said:Quote[/b] (Matt the Shrimp @ Feb. 10 2005,12:40)]So it rhymes with the letter that precedes it in the alphabet? Now that is weird... and I'm pretty certain the missus doesn't say that.[b said:Quote[/b] (glasgowsufc @ Feb. 10 2005,11:58)]With you on the "Hhhaitch" thing but perhaps I've not explained myself clearly, it's "jai" as in the "igh" of sigh. Hmmm strange.
Another interesting one: us Sassenachs, when reading out numbers (e.g. phone nos.) will say "Oh", as in:
"Oh-one-seven-oh-two" (01702)
North of the border, that's almost always said as "zero"...
Good gen on Barr's... have no idea, meself...!

Not noticed that about the Zero, I'll keep an ear out.
Bumped into the missus @ lunchtime, she's an "A{as in hay}pricot" kinda girl!
Think the football ground building Barr is/was chairman of Ayr Utd too!
