Perhaps you should seek a Geordie shipbuilder and see how that goes.

(Really wanted to write an example of Geordie here for the funs, but I can't do it justice in text. Would have been fun. But really gotta hear it.).

And that kinda works for almost any strong/broad regional accent... Brummie and Sheltie spring to my mind the most. Or for an example from across the pond, I love a thick Boston ("Southie") accent. "Bastin". Hehehe. Brummie's almost like the Boston accent of Britain. Sheltie's like Elvin or something fantastical.
