Talk like a West Country lad, it seems:

And continuing the story of accents, back a good few years a friend was holidaying in Cornwall & drinking scrumpy in a pub one night. After a time, a local whom he described as wearing a shepherd's smock & bruising his knuckles on the ground ambled up to him and said, "Australians. He call us Pommie Bastaards, he do."
Thinking quick, the friend replied, "Not to he face he don't."
After that, the evening faded into gentle oblivion, so he tells it, as several more pints went down.
