"They gottit from the Celts and all that lot. They had called the place 'Londo'. Londo = 'wild' or 'bold' which could have been a personal name or the name of the local tribe." Thanking you kindly for this info.

Also intrigued that Robert knew the Welsh for London (it's quite close to the original name, whatever language that came from). Why shouldn't eye know what me home-city is in Cymraeg (seeing as my nom-de-plume is(ish))? Tho' I can't remember exactly from where I discovered it. London comes from Londinium, the Roman name for Llundain; but where they'd got it from, any offers? Cm

My reply of a few minutes ago to the Geoff Wicks letter was supposed to go a couple of miles up the valley to Darren Branagh, not all over the place to you lot! Sorry about that, Why? I enjoyed it! I'm an Englishman from Llundain. Technically speaking, TRUE English people (ie more original native to this isle) are not the Anglo-Saxon/Norman mix we have now, but the Celts they drove out and into Wales Cornwall (mefinx). Cm Celts - who in turn wondered over here from what is now Europe, and may have originated as far off as India, now the Picts on the other hand He he, are we now into the 'I was here before you' arguments? I presume that the typical Brit becoming black and Irish accented implies people like Darren Branagh (who was born in Northern Ireland and so almost British) with a QL plugged into his brain??? I'm sure someone will tell us who was here before the picts too - or does that take us back to when Britain was joined to continental Europe? Also intrigued that Robert knew the Welsh for London (it's quite close to the original name, whatever language that came from). Anyway, 'QL' is the universal language on this list (says he desperate to get back on topic) -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html

Sounds fine to me. I'm somewhat of a "Heinz 57" myself, Born in Northern Ireland to a Catholic Father and Protestant Mother (That was fun!) and holding dual passports as a result - British and Irish, although I don't think I renewed the British one last time - I read somewhere that British people are the 2nd most likely to be shot in a hijack situation - really! (after the Americans!). I speak fluent English and almost-fluent Irish (its in steep decline over here, so don't get to use it much - unlike Dilwyns Welsh, which he can use virtually anywhere, shame really...) Also intrigued that Robert knew the Welsh for London (it's quite close to the original name, whatever language that came from). Yes, had to unearth that Welsh-English dictionary you gave me to find that out :-)) Anyway, 'QL' is the universal language on this list (says he desperate to get back on topic) Agreed!!
