J.C.B;'s around here in The Big City are only known as big dumper Trucks with a Scoop on the front. They come in very handy for removing all manner of obstacles off Roofs. Like unwanted Sheep who may be just happening to pass by and fancy's your New Lawn-ed roof? The New Fancied Angle on Welshness now doing the Rounds in the Newspapers,and on the Goggle boxes is for someone to have a Welsh Handled Moniker. Names Like Ffred JONES springs to mind. Or how about Rhobat ap Daffydd? That could be me perhaps? As my first name is Robert,and the nearest Welshfied Handle to that christian name I can drum up is Rhobat. Unless others can enlighten me that is? And my late father's christian name being David,which goes into Daffydd. There is also silly names that have been dreamt up like "Sili"for "Sully". A whole Weeks newspapers quite recently have been inundated by the "LLANDAF versus "LLANDAFF"mob. This was after the Llandaff Local History Group had the audacity to name their neck of the woods as LLANDAFF. Whch brought out the baying mob of Welsh Langwidge Society out of their holes baying for blood,and citing long lost generations of welsh speaking tribes who lived in that area thousands of years ago. My area is now known as Treganna. Its always been "Canton" to me chaps. Cheers Graham. From:- Graham WILLIAMS,of Canton,Cardiff. Glamorgan F.H.S;#551.
