It is so strange that when one thinks of or reads something, the chances that the same topic will pop up again somewhere soon are so high. Just yesterday, I was watching, on BBC world, a news report of welsh boys being taught to play rugby. For some reason, I listened closely to the words of the boy who was being interviewed. I did not think at the time the accent was like mine, but today, on reading Sparteye's post, I think maybe that was what held my attention. (It could not have been the rugby for which i have no special interest.)
