    Aye thae Unglish coapy cats mak me gey crabbit ! :-)

As they'd say in Leicester, warrayonabaht?
Humerous attempts at representing dialects crop up all over the world.  Afferbeck
Lauder's "Let's Talk Strine" in the 60s was one of the most popular, but it goes
back way beyond that.  I recall an article in the "Leicester Mercury" in about
'64, following a BBC programme supposedly set in Leicester, bemoaning "Forriners,
triner tekkuzoff."
