Ah, Rapaire,Thou hast burst my bubble!
Nigel, think - our Dragon is a girl (y DDraig). Apparently Welsh is the only language with a gender system where 'dragon' is Welsh. Interesting, eh? Also screws up heraldry, as it would seem that dragons are supposed to show ... ummm ... errrr... their 'manhood'.
JennyO - I'm riddled with guilt. I'm sewing a costume for the little boy next door and I've just opened a new reel of poly thread. Oh, the shame!
