The YouTubers NerdCubed and Real Civil Engineer, both British AFAIK, both say (or at least said) it that way.

Anyone remember who did the TV comedy sketch with the following exchange? (I'm thinking Dick Emery, but not sure.)

The people who put an H in aitch are the same who never pronounce the h in any other word.
