I am a big fan of Isabel Ice and i always read reviews of any film she has done and in 9 out of 10 reviews, when they mention her accent, they always say her "English accent" it is a WELSH accent! And a very sexy accent it is. (Isabel and Charlotte Church talking dirty in there Welsh accents..now there is a dream)
I don't know if Isabel reads the reviews but i have a number of welsh friends and the one thing they hate(even more than loosing at Rugby to England)is being called English. The Welsh are very proud people.
So from an Englishman(with a thing for Welsh accents) to all reviewers, we may all be British but we are four seperate and proud contries in our own right.
I know better, but many Americans will use the words English and British almost interchangeably. And I will admit that I can almost immediately recognize a Scottish burr and an Irish brogue, but if I heard a Welsh accent I would know that that wasn't BBC announcer English, but I wouldn't immediately think Welsh unless something like the surname Llewelyn were mentioned. But I am reminded of one of "Snapper" Organs' bad reviews for his performance in "Man from La Mancha." Monty Python's Flying Circus's Piranha Brothers sketch.
Now there is a thought..Isabel Ice and Catherine Zeta Jones what a welcome to the valleys that would be! Throw in Charlotte Church and Sir Tom Jones and Wales would be the new porn capital of the world.
It's correct, I am indeed Welsh, and proud! But I don't mind if people make the mistake as long as they're being nice to me at the same time!!!! As for Ms. Zeta-Jones, well... Jake Malone's 'Be My Bitch', is the only thing I'd do with her, and it certainly won't be me bitching my ass!!! (but I may well soon with a certain Miss T. Lane)
It might depend on the fact that a TRUE SCOTTISH like Sean Connery played as an ENGLISH agent for a long Time he even played as King Arthur though no one can consider Lt Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott as an English I guess.
A Scottish accent doesn't sound remotely English and especially mine doesn't although unlike Connery i can go into a shop and order 'some scissors and sausages for my sisters' without drowning everyone in spit.
Scotty was an Irish Canadian......i think, but maybe cos his last name was Scott and nicknamed as Scotty confused people. Not a trekkie so really wouldn't know for sure.
LOL about my Aussie typing accent but what I mean is that James Doohan was Irish Canadian but played a scottish character (Scott WAS scottish) and faked a scottish accent I'm not able to distingush a real accent from a faked one though

yep, that's how I look at the moment. I have black hair, and so it's a pain in the ass to get in dyed every month. In the summer sun, it's cool, but in our cold dark winter, I'm afraid that having blond hair, and white skin is even worse... lol, anyway, hope you engoy the work with my new shor and blond look. X
It belongs to the woderful Cristie Lee...it was at the Naughty and Nice Reloaded party... she told me she had sore feet, so I licked them better...
