Will try and do a link for the Gloucestershire Dialect later on.

However the 'H' at the beginning of a word is normally not sounded in many areas in the West County -i.e. Ouse (House) aert (Heart) etc.

I was born in the next County, Wiltshire (Grandad, born Blakeney) - and at school, the only children who sounded their 'H's - were children sent for elocutions lessons by their parents for improvement and getting on in the world.
