And if anyone knows Cardiff then their next question might well be "Where abouts in Cardiff" at which point you've then got to backtrack and explain you're not really from Cardiff, but actually from a village just outside Cardiff called Pontlottyn. That's got to take longer than just being truthful to start with.

Mate get over it.
Im speaking from personal experience. It gets very annoying when you have to explain for the millionth time where Pontlottyn is and how to spell it and people giggling as its the back of beyond so i just simplify it to Cardiff where i did live for 4 years and isnt to far which cuts the conversation as they have heard of it.
End of discussion.
