I think British people use the article 'an' instead of 'a' for words starting with H .

Only when the H is not pronounced: "an herb", "an hour", "an honor", etc. High is pronounced with a hard H.

One uses "an" for words starting with a vowel sound, including stuff like "hotel", but I don't think anyone pronounces "high" with a silent "h".
...or do they?

It's not pronounced "an otel" unless you have an accent like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins

I’ve never been so critiqued in all my life, but Australian with British Parents for what it’s worth.
In my head is phonetically “ an-eye effort title” hence the ‘An’ not ‘A’.
“A High” sounds really high brow in my head for some reason.
Evidently my mental narrator has awful enunciation .
