Inspired by this thread (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=491697), but not wanting to hijack. I know Bale hales from the UK, and I see from research he is Welsh by birth but born to English parents. My American ears hear his dialect work in The Prestige as pretty straight Cockney, perhaps a trifle overdone, but I'm wondering how it sounds to British ears.
