I just love it. Bloomin' arse. There's no American slang that works as well.

Yeah, wasn't that line used by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady? It's a good one, definitely.
Dick Van Dyke's attempt at a cockney accent in Mary Poppins is, of course, legendarily adrift. One of the best American actors when it comes to nailing a London/South-Eastern/Thames estuary English accent is, believe it or not, Gwyneth Paltrow - which she perfected even before marrying Chris Martin.
