Radio 1 DJ proud to bring north Walian accent to rest of UK

BBC Radio 1 DJ Sian Eleri has said she is proud to bring her north Walian accent to a national platform.

The presenter, from Caernarfon, Gwynedd, said she enjoyed getting the chance to tell people she was a Cofi - a term for people from the town.

"It's nice. We don't often hear the north Walian accent nationally, I feel very proud. Even though I can't take any credit for the way I speak," she said.

"It's often interesting how I'll get comments from people saying 'oh, what accent is that? Where are you from":[]}
