> it's Welsh, as far as I know. whenever you buy anything commerative of wales, it says ich dien, especially on the prince of wales feathers. saying that, the royal family have german decendants, so it may be germen after all. confused? I am.
> TyronI don't know, Tyron. I think I've read about that recently. Someone will be along and educate both of us. If not, I have a friend in Wales who will be back at work tomorrow and I can ask her. Yes, the royal family is of German descent - brought about by the refusal to have a Catholic monarch if I read aright. Hazel
