Hello Highlander, a Celtic revival is now underway in Northern England,
due
mainly to archeology and more accurate histories of the region. ***bric is
also a Scottish language as well. When I was young I thought that the
oatcakes or parkins that they make in Northern England at this time were
made and eaten all over England, but it is only in the Celtic parts that
this ancient custom continues. I am not an Anglo-Saxon and I was hopping
mad
with having a false German identity put not only on me but also on the
whole
of Northern England and the Scottish lowlands. My anger has gone now so I
have calmed down. Thank you for your encouragement.
