Ponciau, humm now lets see exactly what the name means shall we :D

The Welsh word 'ponc' means bank or hillock and the village takes its name from the large number of spoil tips which formerly covered the area. This was corrupted into the anglicised name 'Ponkey' which is no longer used, except occasionally by locals.

 

The village of Ponciau grew up around opencast mining and houses were built, with little regard for planning, to house the workers. At Brynydd, close to the Royal Oak public house, was the former site of typical very basic, one room, terraced, workers' houses. Tin baths were kept to the rear of the houses for bathing.

Is Ponciau an anagram ?

 

I have suggestions as to what it might mean (in English) but I hesitate to suggest what it might be.....................

Better than being a "troll" :cool:

 

If you had bothered to look the first one says "Grandad I am coming!" which means that Thomson Cruises took me to see my Grandfather who died in WW1 at Gallipoli. I would not expect you to understand that or even have some respect, thank god I do.
