Actually, not quite true! Those Southern Englishmen (from around the London Area) always pronounce the "h", so it would be "hello". It's only us Yorkshiremen (from the county of Yorkshire, up north) who drop the first "h" in any word. We have a different way of speaking. It's like comparing a New England accent to a Southern Drawl.

BY BIRTH AN ENGLISHMAN, BY THE GRACE OF GOD A YORKSHIREMAN.
