I have never meet a Welsh person who is not more unlike than the English.

Language just flows from the Welsh like a well of joy and a world view like no other. The Scots are wonderful too but I cant understand them.. ........that was joke. Steve Brisbane Australia

Welsh is the Latin American Spanish of English accents ; sounds romantic and nostalgic whereas Scottish is the Italian; excellent for banter and for shouting but not really good to express serious feelings as its quite funny. Northern irish would be the French and Northern English has to be Portuguese from Brazil for how funny and cool it sounds. London english would be like Russian; unique, strong yet annoying at times and Australian like Spanish from Spain; loved and hated in equal parts but always proud

Oh my gosh! I’m glad I came upon this channel by chance. Thank you KZfaq algorithm. I’m not Welsh but I am told by my very very Welsh boyfriend that I am an honorary Welsh lady. 🥰 This may be strange story but I found Anthony Hopkins interesting since I was an early teenager and The Remains of the Day came out, and I saw that movie. I didn’t know anything about Wales or Sir Anthony Hopkins. There was something about him that was compelling and captivating. By the time I was 16 I told myself I am going to find an older man who is Welsh. It must have been meant to be because when I was 18 I met a Welshman who was about 36 years my senior when I went to visit Spain for my gap year before going off to college. Age really is just a number because I was in love. I lost the love of my life in 2021. My Richard. ❤️

Catch his performance in the movie "Come What May" and see if you agree.

@@KH-os1ef Milland was a huge star in classic Hollywood. He especially deserves to be remembered better. Hopkins, though, is certainly the most critically acclaimed of the whole lot with the most Oscars and BAFTAs. Part of his problem though is that a lot of his so-so films are the ones with huge audiences, and a lot of his very best work has been seen by fewer people. There are far more people who have seen the Thor movies than his brilliant performance in The Father, far more who watched Transformers 4 than The Two Popes, and back in the day far more who saw Hannibal and Alexander than The Remains of the Day or Shadowlands and so on. The two movies they talk about in this clip, The Bounty and Titus, were both undeserved box office flops. Hopkins at his best, though, I don't think can really be beaten.
