We have a friend who is very very Welsh
He pronounces 'here' as 'yur'.

there are some nice welsh accents
but they come from a very small part of Wales.

My ex was properly Welsh, from Swansea, but had cultivated a posh English accent.

One thing I noticed while hanging out with a lot of Welsh speakers and Welsh people generally is that they drop their t's and things like that a lot less than most English people would do.

It took me three weeks to reliably understand the Valleys accent
when I lived in Wales.

I think the registrar doing our wedding is a welsh bloke
there are some jobs that are just made better by having a welsh person do them. Tour guide is one, I'm sure registrar will be another.

I have a sneaking suspicion you and he would get on.
He's not really what you would class as 'normal'.

you will probably find that he pronounces 'here' as 'by yur'

I've got a real fondness for the Welsh accent.
Not sure why.

Ah.
So no... unnatural feelings towards woolly jumpers then, or any ovine members of the animal diaspora?

No, I'm not from Derbyshire

As have I.
It sounds great, to me.
