Exactly the same in Yorkshire. "Hey you" but with the H dropped.

No. "eu" comes out "oy." I can't think of a German word with the "äu" sound (that's a-umlaut, for which ae is sometimes written).

That's "oy" as in Heute, Leute, Eutin (city), Europa, Beutel, usw.

"äu" is always pronounced the same as "eu". Häuser, Mäuschen, etc etc.
