My grandfather regularly used thee and thou, and that was in Dorset, south west of England.

Basically, what Thomas Hardy wrote about in Tess of the D'Urbervilles is about it.... except my grandfather only died in 1974..... Dorset always was a bit behind the times...

I've occasionally used thee and thou, but people in London don't understand me when I do.
