Yes, Eddie Izzard is a British Institution. He is worth checking out on Wikipedia although some of the info is dubious.

Actually the most irritating trend in England is for people to pronounce the letter H as Haitch, but there is no ******* H in it (Please check out the Youtube link from Waiguoren)
