That's quite funny. But even as someone that says "aitch" I think that's convention, rather than right or wrong. I also don't say the "l" in almond, but again, that's just a convention. The "l" is there. There is also no "r" in the word bath - but I pronounce it as if there were. Funnily enough, even as a man from Kent, I say "Glasgow" instead of "Glarsgow".
You're weird.
Aitch isn't convention, it's right.
And you pronounce "almond" as "amond", how does anyone know what you're talking about?
And you say Barth and yet, GlAsgow? You pick and choose where to use your southern accent?

I didn't have the heart to tell him.
