I use it occasionally. I think that many Brits do, although it's far more common in London.
Just off the top of me barnet, these are the one's that I use fairly frequently:
Up the apples and pears.
Nice Bristols.
I write a Gregory.
Off for a couple of Britney's.
He's a bit ginger.
Hello me old china.
That's about it for me. I can understand most of the other ones, although I don't use them at all.
Anyone use any others?

You ever see that Monty Python skit set during WWII or WWI and the RAF pilots are making unintelligible banter...?
I worked in London most my life and very rarely heard it. My guess is its just brought out for visitors and tourists.
Those are all used regular in the black country except for the "gregory" one??.
Couple more that are used, the 1st one I tend to avoid ...
I'm goin to the bog for a tommy tit.
Please iron my dickie dirt.
Englishman,
I'm an anglophile but the only I recognize is "me old China" (connected to Chinese Gordon?)

Use your loaf (of bread) - head
Apples & pears - stairs
Comb my barnet (fair) - hair
I think he's wearing a syrup (of figs) - wig
Reading the beans on toast - post
Give us a butchers (hook) - look
I'm on the rock n roll - dole
Bloody hell, I'm Hank Marvin - starvin'
Eugh! That doesn't half pen and ink - stink
Stop looking at my stuff you tea leaf - thief
...but those don't rhyme
