Do you think he got confused between garlic and gaelic? :-) In any event the French form is not French Gaelic, its Breton. And a lot of people in the 'Far Ouest' will get rather upset if you call them French...

It's 'Gallic', as in 'Gaul'. eg: French layout = Gallic subject. The Gauls themselves were superceded by the Franks who derive their name from the hand-axes they were so fond of carrying.

The Irish use 'Gaelic' - try putting Gaelic Football into Google and see what you get.

My kids keep singing Christmas songs in Welsh. Only been living here 18 months and they think they're locals already!
Best one I overheard was one daughter saying to the other: 'let's sing it in Welsh, the English version is boring' !!!

When are you taking Welsh lessons so you can keep up with them?
Frankly, I'm surprised they had the gall.

I think you are confused between Gaelic and Celtic? Bretons are Celtic with red hair and green eyes. They are the same race as Cornishmen. I play ancient wargames and this sort of thing comes up a lot.

Asterix the Cornishman doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Sorry, it was me who thought you were confused between the two, and I was trying to clarify it. I'm going to stop now before I get confused...

I'm beginning to feel left out of this thread. Next year I will leave instructions that I'm to be given nothing but socks. No railway models, no railway books, no books on local history, no Busby Berkeley movies and especially no more Sarah Brightman CD's. Just socks.

Life really socks.
