Apparently, the English consider the Welsh accent to be odd-sounding. I was simply going with it. Personally, I wouldn't recognize a Welsh accent if I heard one.

I'd pay real money to hear your supposed "Georgia Peach" accent.
Hysterical
My father's kin are from Georgia so I heard it a LOT as a small child.

I've been trying to think of famous Welsh people that Americans might have heard of that still have a decent accent (which excludes Tom Jones and Timothy Dalton). The best I can come up with is Charlotte Church, but that's not overly strong, and I don't know if you've heard of her.
Although, as an aside, she met Bush once, and he asked where she was from. She replied Wales, and Bush then said "Ah. So which state is that in?"
Silly man.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

No. She does the extrememly annoying thing of walking around sounding like the Queen, until she goes to Cardiff, at which point she develops an accent thicker than cold custard.
