If you could read my mind on the matter of where I am from, here is what you would hear ...
Unless you are my mother or father, please refrain from telling me where I come from. I know where I am from and I do not need to be informed of where I am from. Should you begin an sentence with 'you must be from ...' then you may be skating on thin ice.
I do not sound Australian, or German, or South African. Please do not try to impress me with your knowledge of accents, dialects and geography, since your grasp on that is as impressive as an otter masquerading as surgeon.
Also, when I inform you that I'm not from London, do not argue the toss with me. Honestly, I stand on the firmer ground and you are starting to look like an idiot.
Finally, Wales is not 'in' England.

You from the valleys?
