I was always taught the other way round! Therefore I blame my teachers for my common ways.

.Ditto to this. We were always taught Haitch. It feels unnatural for me to pronounce it any other way.

It sounds like someone trying to sound posh,which is a vulgar thing to do. You don't say 'hhhour' or 'hhhonest', do you? If someone spoke like that you'd think they were trying (and failing) to sound well-spoken.
