I was trying to use the punctuation to convey the accent.

Actually - it's not intended to be Lord Snooty - Bertie 'Whato, old
chap' Wooster - to whom Jeeves was the long suffering butler.

Alf Garnett - played by Warren Mitchell in 60's BBC sitcom "Till Death
do us Part"

"Use 'Ask Jeeves'? Blaaady cheek at the fort of it - that's HER
search engine, you silly moo. Blaaady socialites will want to ruddy
nationalise that next."

The 'scarse' (scouse) git was played by the young Tony Booth, these
days famous for being T. Blair's father-in-law (Cherie's Dad).

Whereas "Steptoe and Son", "Hancock's Half Hour", Pete and Dudley have
all been reprised several times in recent years, I have yet to see a
full episode of "Till Death do us Part" re-transmitted. Surely the
Beeb aren't keeping those gems off the air because the "Alf" character
was so overtly racist? A very controversial program in its day.

Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately?) I am well under the limit so
don't have that 'pleasure'.
