Actually, my real name is Derwyn Lloyd, but that name is too "wet"
for someone with CP!! (Its not Der as in fir, in Welsh the 'R's are
rolled and the 'll' is closer to "thll" - a name that could well
drown someone).

Cheers

Deri

PS Lin  didn't know my real name was "Derwyn Lloyd" I'd told her it
was "Deri Zachariah", and at our wedding she hesitated when asked
whether she took "Derwyn Lloyd James" as her "(l)awful wedded
husband"..
