    if educated

    I mean everyone was educated if they were in school after 1947 in the UK, which is where the idiom you use comes from.

    Many British accents drop /h/ as accent is no longer a certain indicator of class, plus, code switching is a thing. I consider myself pretty well educated and will drop my aiches in most contexts except formal.
