Bettye I have to admit to never having heard of the dictionary definition concept of a 'Welsh uncle' before. But John answers the question you asked, and I went innocently off on another tack it seems :-) Confusion being my middle name !

Dear John and Gareth, Thank you, Gentlemen (sincerely). I guess this means if I take John and the dictionary's meaning I look for a relative, and if I take Gareth's it could be just a revered friend or neighbour. Confusing? Might I say, typically Welsh!
