I've heard it used once. He was a very posh old man, who sort of made a character out of his extreme Britishness. He spoke the queen's English, but would also say things like 'zut-alors'. He was a teacher, but refused to use a phone, so one time the school bus was running late back from a football match and he didn't tell any of the parents. Mass panic ensued.
