People here in the States pick up that I have a "accent" and ask where I'm from. I say "Wales" and they ask if that city is close to London. I tell them it's not even in England and I get a blank stare. If they'de listen to me and even compare me to any of the "accents" they get on their telly..they'de realise I don't even sound English. Bah..I'm ranting. Damnit!
