This is actually a Yorkshire colloquialism.

i.e. "Can you borrow me some money?"

Lots of our counties have little idiosyncrasies like this .
Really Mike? I dont say that an am as broad as owt
Apparantly it's a Doncaster thing, my partner says it all the time (drives me mad ) and she is certainly not what you would call uneducated (one of the top ten neurological scientists in the world ).

Being a Londoner living in Norwich for 5 years, I loved the Norfolk dialect, and use of the past tense in all the wrong places.

Norfolk folk are officially the rednecks of the UK
