Spoken like a true american. Us Brits don't all talk like Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" you know. In fact none of us do. I think some Australians might use that accent though.
A cockney "way" would not be anything like "why". A really strong Midlands (Dudley / Birmingham accent) "way" might sound a bit like "why". Other than that I can't think of any UK accents which would sound like that.
I'm sure someone will disagree though=-)

There is an exception to every rule. Including this one.
