There is a small chapel dedicated to a 'St Elvis' near Solva, Pembrokeshire (near the Preseli Mountains). St Elvis was apparently a relative of St Non, who was the mother of St David. So 'Elvis (of) Preseli' would be a good Welsh name, yes.

The inhabitabts of Penclawdd on North Gower were apparently referred to as 'Dunks' - probably because of the donkeys they used when gathering cockles from the Loughor estuary.

Pavane old mate, get yer cookie back and pm me for details of Charlie's visit.

BTW, there's an old Swansea joke that says that Gogs are like piles:













If they come down and go back up, they're OK, but if they come down and stay, they're a pain in the a***.
