- Yes, [I am] from Wales, which is even smaller than London. It is a very beautiful area and it has an ancient language, much older than English, which actually is starting to become more and more popular nowadays. It is good, as I wasn't brought up speaking it fluently, because I think my parents thought that it was somehow a backward step. You had to learn to speak English, better than you already did.
