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"...

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!
