Word of warning, if you go to Wales, make it plain that you are NOT English in
any
way shape or form, make your American accent as distinguishable as possible,
coz if
they for one minute assume you might be a pom(or related to one) then you are
likely to end up tied to a holiday home and set on fire!!! :-)
Hmmm, any other nice places that you could visit while your here, how about
Birmingham, you'll never understand that lot!!!! :-)
Cheerio
