As an American who has heard accents from all over the UK, can confirm Welsh is my favorite.
Essex?…15th ? ……Leave it out, you plum …..
I saw another study a while back saying Welsh is the UK’s favourite accent.
I wish I hadn’t been so defensive now when, all those years living in London, people would say, ‘Is that a Welsh accent I hear?’ With a wide grin on their faces, and I thought they were being RACIST.
No just kidding, I just didn’t like the way they were drawing attention to it all the time. And English people do like to take the piss out of the Welsh, traditionally. But actually I think people were saying it because they liked it. Or at least they saw no harm in drawing attention to it.
Er which Welsh accent?
I assume they have not met my Welsh relatives. . . 😀
Ynys Mon or Newport? Rhyl or Pembrokeshire?
Bangorai isn’t exactly chilled and Cofi-dre is positively grating.
Love this.
As for which Welsh accent? I’ve worked in quite a few calls centers in and around the Bridgend/Swansea/Cardiff area which attract people from all around this sort of area. I remember talking with some management about the reason for the abundance of call centers in the area. (It’s the accent, although we’re probably cheap to employ too)
