Oh trust me - there's a difference - you would know it when you heard it.
Welsh accents tend to have a lilt to them missing from most English accents

Really? I did not know that.
Well, Kate seems good with accents. So if there was ever a Continentals movie and she were to star as Fiona I'm sure she'd do the citizens of Swansea proud. :)

it should be pointed out that the Welsh person in the advert is Ruth Madoc, the woman, the other person is the Englishman - it ought to be explained these actors were in the inexplicably popular British Sitcom Hi De HI about a Holiday camp in the 60's their characters had a simmering sexual tension going on between them. The character Ruth played is actually from Swansea - so that ought ot even be the right welsh accent - as you may not know there are regional variations in dialect - listen to the character Gwen from Torchwood, she's from Cardiff - a different accent as I hope you can tell
