A funny cockney memory
I was always taught that the 8th letter of the alphabet was pronounced ‘aitch’. Cockneys have always pronounced it ‘haitch’ or rather, ‘hightch’. Seems that many people in England are now taught this way.
When I was 17, I worked with a very nice Cockney man by the name of Stephen Haxwell. When he was on the phone with anyone who didn’t know him, he always said “the name’s Stephen Axwell. That’s Axwell wiv a hightch”. I still chuckle over 30 years later. I wonder how/where he is now.
