"I" is used instead of "me" in the West Country almost exclusively. It used to be very disconcerting until I got used to it. *Fumbles for correct grammatical terms and fails, cursing post-60's education* The trend is for "active" pronouns to be used in preference to "passive" ones, as exemplified in the title of the Wurzels' track, "Don't tell I, tell 'e!"
It gets very amusing when you have to deal with the very self-obsessed :S
