I believe it is a British dialect called "cockney".  Me and my husband have this same arguement everytime those commercials come on! This is weird, but go to this website, it's the only one I could find with an example in audio (its a story told in cockney, sounds like the gecko!) You have to listen for a minute or so to get to it.

I don't think "semper" is right for the sense you want it in.  The idiomatic Church Latin phrase "in saeculi saeculorum" is given the usual English equivalent "for ever" or "for evermore", and therefore almost exactly matches the sense that you want.
