Again... this is all to day with 'accents'

I was born in Swindon, (pronounced SWINDUN - Wiltshire - pronounced WILTSHUR - which is 20 miles from Chippenham) and my Grandparents were from Gloucestershire - in both Counties the 'H' is silent.... hence IGGINS/EGGINS - unless of course one was 'Posh'.

Eliza born Chippenham (in a Wiltshire accent when I grew up - was pronounced Chipnum)- silent "H" again.
