Quick question for the grammar smart arses to ponder while masturbating before Countdown comes on…“A” 8 minute walk

The word "Eight" in spoken English begins with a vowel sound, so I'd be going with "An 8 minute walk". But if it was "Six" I'd go with "A 6 minute walk". That's certainly how I was taught at school and at home.Just wondered if there were different rules for a number 8 rather than a more wordificated eight.
Those Welshy sign writers should've looked it up!
PS fair play for not lowering yourself to my level in the way I asked the question

If you walk in English it is 8 minutes. Walk in Welsh and it’s only 6.Just wondered if there were different rules for a number 8 rather than a more wordificated eight.

So my logic says Welsh walking is faster than English OR Welsh minutes are longer than English minutes

Maybe it's only a 6 minute walk to somewhere that will serve Welsh speakers, but 2 more minutes to anywhere that will serve English speakers!So my logic says Welsh walking is faster than English OR Welsh minutes are longer than English minutes
