Does anyone else get asked where in Wales they are from?

Born and raised in Newcastle, all my family is from the region, but for the past few years I keep getting asked if I'm Welsh. I got asked by a lovely cashier at a Morrison's in Peckham where abouts in Wales I was from, and just last week a lad and his missus from Yorkshire asked how long have I lived outside of Wales.

And now... The bloody AI is recording my voice chats in Welsh, and it's not a one off either, I'm not offended just really confused, it's capturing me talking fluent Welsh!

Scottish, yeah I get that, but how many other Geordies have an apparently strong Welsh twang? I've only been to Wales once, and that was for Butlins.
