Whats with all the stupid "over the top" Welsh accents?
I'm a Cardiffian and hardly anyone I know has a mega-strong bouncy Welsh accent and says "nor" instead of "no" I certainly dont. Thats more West Walians/Valleys people who talk like that.. That lot sounded like rejects from Pobol y Cwm.
Neither do we ALL have Welsh names like Gwen, Rhys, Bethan, Carys, Ianto Jones etc. Most Cardiffians I know are just called things like Sue and Dave!
And it didn't show anything of how cosmopolitan Cardiff is. That stupid fat Valleys boy in the Pizza Parlour made me laugh - in the REAL Cardiff he'd have been a Somali.
It seemed to me that it was made by someone who isn't Welsh and has this really cliched idea of how Cardiff is. All miners and singsong down the pit and stuff.
Its like setting a series in Glasgow and having everyone wearing kilts and called "Angus" and "Hamish" and stuff. And eating haggis while playing the bagpipes.
It was OK apart from that though . . .
