faaaart...horrible accent
Always remember this scene from Ted https://youtu.be/3sJwYGsbe5g
Apparently the caaar side of things is very much a port influence due to Irish immigration
Boston , Liverpool and Cardiff all had massive Irish immigration and it was no surprise to me that when I went to college my mate from Grangetown was always asked if he was from Liverpool
People from port talbot also abuse their vowels in this manner
Many people in England assumed I was a scouser when I was younger. "You don't sound Welsh". How many times have those of us from Cardiff and the Vale heard that? I remember the first time an English person actually placed me as being Welsh. It was a Liverpudlian cab driver.
Been asked a lot over here if I’ve spent time in Boston.
I live in the United States, and only once has anyone ever correctly identified me as Welsh. It was my barber, the first time I got my hair cut by him. Typical old-style barber shop, walls covered three deep with sports memorabilia and a line of guys sitting in chairs waiting their turn. Not a woman in sight. "You have an accent," he said. "Where you from?"
Well, I said, we have some time so why don't you guess? Usually, when I say this to people we go on a world tour, from England to Scotland to Ireland, to Canada, to New Zealand, even to South Africa. No one ever thinks of Wales.
But this guy, he stood back, pondered a while, and said:
"You're from that country Tom Jones is from."
And I had to admit it was true.
Always quite liked the Boston accent, New York meets the Irish with cardiff in it....
I go to America a couple of times a year and gave up explaining a long time ago.
If you say you're Welsh or from Wales it's usually a polite.. 'Oh, OK' followed by a moment of silence while they try and work out where tf it could be.
I find it a lot simpler to just say the UK these days.
I've never been patriotic in a Welsh sense anyway (apart from the football) so it makes no difference to me. JMO..
