Someone else may have said this but i will tell my side anyway 🙂
Ok, so i was looking at some new stuff on HLJ when i recognised a certain name that i think Syd had trouble pronouncing on Gunpla Tv. Nothing against Syd, its a damn hard word to say – if it was spelt right, and even then it’s still difficult. Sorry, i digress. Anyhoo, i was checking out this little prize due out in a month or so:-

It looked familiar. the word “Caletvwlch”. So i did a quick search and found that my hunch was right ( well, i think it is anyway). The word seems to be a miss spelling of the Welsh word “Caledfwlch” which is the welsh word for the famous sword “Excalibur”. So i put two and two together and thats my theory. Look it up. Any one think i might be close? Try to say the word yourself – the one from the HLJ site then check this link with the actual Welsh pronunciation.

Close? I think you hit the nail on the head!
Cheers. I remember the name from tales my grandfather use to tell me.
