Whenever I see an English regional accent rendered phonetically like that, I always think of that one Dalziel & Pascoe novel where the author tries valiantly to render Dalziel's Yorkshire dialect, in a scene where he goes much deeper into it than he normally does at work in order to remonstrate with a neighbor about the neighbor's penchant for domestic violence. It's so incomprehensible to any outsider, he has to explain afterward to Pascoe that what he said was, "My friend, you've got to stop beating your wife. If it's a fight you want, there's no shortage of men around here who will be willing to give it to you."

Also:

"The cold steel. The Decepticons don't like it up 'em. They do not like it up 'em."
