I get very annoyed by the case of the misplaced aspirate -or - why do so many people pronounce 'Aitch' as 'Haitch' ?
"Me and me Mate" surely? I grew up, and lived, in Berkshire for 42 years, and would consider "My Friend and I" to be more correct

When I joined my Father's firm as an apprentice he had a chippy working for him, a true Norfolk old boy, his favourite saying was
" You's make I larf boy" he was close to retirement but unfortunately died from serious illness before he did. My Father, myself and others on the firm kept up the phrase when ever we made each other laugh for years after as a sort of tribute to him.

It does for me - most everything has to be scratch-built, so it(apostrophe)s got to be two 0's or one 0.

In Australia Haitch almost certainly means the person went to a Catholic school so it is probably derived from Ireland.
