What's not to love about the Welsh accent. I especially love hearing it in a booming but melodic voice from a large Welshman. Don't be a stranger in these parts.<BR/><BR/>becky,<BR/>I find SA accents difficult to follow, perhaps because there's some Dutch in it somewhere and I don't know Dutch at all. It is an interesting accent though.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-85770630228299741512008-01-06T23:48:00.000+08:002008-01-06T23:48:00.000+08:00gina,?????????

Hence, "hello" would be pronouced, "L. O."; "Have you any eggs?" would be pronouced "F.U.N.E.X?". Hope that helps ad not kills the joke.<BR/><BR/>msw,<BR/>Doppleganger? Now calm down.
