I was in my collage class a short while ago when our tutor, who knows most British dialects gave us this:
Eye wood liketer sey on Mester Small's biharf dat wenne werks wi me (un amnot braggin) ees di eyedlist git eye no.
yuv gotta begunprey forim two do owt.
Ees allus erly fer werk butdat int beccus ee lykes werk, its awny beecus eez knot welcum atooam.
Ees skived frum wanend utospitel tut tuther, un nose nowt.
Ee weshes izzen narnaggeen, undareowd lass eyons iz shertz orieght.
Ar fink eel bi orieght fut job, becuz eestans artamile ort udder leyerbarts wontint job.
Gi imt job, ungerrim off meye bak, un a** lawny seeim wennee rileves mee.
This is written in a local dialect. Quite literally how it is spoken.
I will post the translation to 'proper' English n a short while.
Note: You have to read it aloud.
Note 2: When I posted this in the GD, No body could read it. However, a Polish boy in our group could :3

Goodness.
Is it:
I would like to say on Mr Small's bahalf that when he works with me (and I'm not bragging) he's the idlest git I know. You've got to beg and pray for him to do anything.
He's always early for work but that isn't because he likes work, its only because he's not welcome at home.
He's skived from one end (hospital or something?) to the other, and knows nothing.
He (no idea, really) irons his shirts alright.
I think he'll be alright for the job, because he stands (a mile?) over other layabouts wanting the job.
Give him the job, and get him off my back, and (no idea) see him when he relieves me.
That is probably complete gibberish but some of it makes sense.
What dialect is it written in?

You have it almost correct.
It is written in broad Yorkshire. ^^
The proper translation is:
I would like to say on MR Smalls behalf that when he works with me (and I am not bragging) he is the idlest git I know.
You have got to beg and prey for him to do anything.
He is always early for work but that isn't because he likes work, it's only because he isn't welcome at home.
He has skived from one end of the hospital to the other, and knows nothing.
He washes him self now and again, and the old lass (wife to you) iron's his shirt's alright.
I think he will be alright for the job, because he stands out a mile over the other layabouts wanting the job.
Give him the job, and get him off of my back, and I will only see him when he relieves me.

Oh man, it's true.
Yorkshire is like English with a heavy Scottish accent, with tinges of Danish and Faroese, and AES-Serpent-Twofish 256-bit encryption gonk
