          Interestingly, Welsh is Saxon for 'foreigner'. Cornwall, is Saxon for 'west foreigner'. However, Cymru is I am fairly sure 'Wales' and 'Welsh' is 'Brith' in their language. (Hence 'Bara brith', 'welsh cack/bread').

            Is that the land or the people? I believe that Cymru is Wales in Brythonic Celtic, and that their name for themselves is Brith (as in Britain, Prythian, Briezh Bryth or any of the other variants. Hence 'Bara brith' 'welsh bread'.

              If I had written Cyru, 90% of CP wouldn't have had the slightest idea what I was talking about. What I find particularly embarrassing is that Owen Glendower (AKA Owain ab Gruffydd, lord of Glyndyvrdwy in Merioneth) is a bit of a hero of mine. The last true Prince of Wales. Welsh[^] Welch[^]

                  I guess finding that has left you feeling not so sheepish! Never let someone pull the wool over your eyes with the correct spelling. But dont lambent your earlier guilt, its not a point to be moot on! (bet you cant find all the puns! ;))

                          Yes, this proves Dalek Dave wrong in their assertions that Welch should be spelt Cymru. Of course this often happens when people of some intelligence but limited thought proffer their opinions. (Gotcha again Dave. Given up yet? :P )

                                        Hi Jon, I got a new laptop and I lost the link to "You know what". I tried to send you a private message but it seems you cannot that anymore. Can you send me a private message if you can? If it is not possible, I will just fire up the old laptop and copy the link by hand.

                                          Forget about my other message, I just went to my old messages and got the link back.
