In old movie 'Lady Chatterley', the actor says "as knows all the tiptop young fellas?".
Is 'as knows all the tiptop young fellas' grammatically correct? Is it like old English or some dialects?
If not, what is the correct version?
-----MOVIE SCRIPT----------------------------
Woman: I saw you once, washing.
Woman: I thought you were beautiful.
Man: Me?
Woman: your body was beautiful. I wanted you.
Man: My body, beautiful? To you? As knows all the tiptop young fellas?
Woman: I don't mean handsome.
Man: Handsome is as handsome does.
