@ BritMac: Hey! Hey! Hey!
I want to ask you a question...
It's going to seem pretty damn random,
but it's something that's been bugging me for a while.

How do YOU pronounce "hour"?

This past year or so I started watching
a lot of British Vloggers and they seem to always,
at some point, mention that "herb" should be pronounced
"H-erb" because, as Eddie Izzard so eloquently put it,
"there's a ******** 'h' in it."

(But let me point out here and now
that "herb" is a french word.)

So since there's a "******** 'h'" in HOUR,
how do you British folk pronounce it?
Do you bother with the "h" or not?

Btw, this is not me being mean.
I'm just awfully curious and, well, I know
that you're more likely to see this and bother to answer it
than any of the British Vloggers I follow.
