Every individual I know, or have ever encountered, who uses this haitch nonsense, is utterly and irretrievably ignorant.
One of my daughter’s group of friends also insists on zee instead of zed, uses the words ‘like’ and ‘literally’ in excess of two hundred times on a 20 minute journey, all on top of the aforementioned atrocity.
On the Saturday evenings that it is my dubious privilege to retrieve them from whatever party they’ve been to, I seriously consider the feasibility of fitting an ejector seat, just for her… [Post edited 12 Jan 21:31]

On a visit to Norn Iron in the late 90s, I learned that the pronunciation of H marked the religious difference between Protestants (aitch) and Catholics (haitch). |  |

Have some people switched from aitch to haitch? They must have as I hear it all the time now! |  | | |

It's called a hypercorrection - someone's incorrect perception of how to apply a particular grammatical or pronunciation rule in an attempt to appear educated, whilst in fact giving the opposite impression to those that actually are.
Having worked in London a lot, I come across "haitch" iin England mostly amonsgst speakers of estuary English when they're spelling out a word where they usually end up dropping the flippin aitch anyway!
Give me a Suffolk accent any day bor. |  | | |

“Between you and I” is a classic case of hypercorrection by pseudo-intellectual people who don’t understand how to decline pronouns |  |

‘The Official Steps Musical’ is on in Cardiff, if that sort of thing floats your boat. It’s not for me; he’ll always be far more famous for this banger:
RIP to H from Steps
