Since this board is all about the use of the English language, may as well stretch it to include spoken language.

Which English speakers pronounce Wales and whales differently?

i.e. which say "wh" with a clear H sound at the start?

I live in the West Midlands. I know plenty of people from both England and Wales and the words 'Wales' and 'Whales' are always pronounced the same way
