wa- wa.
- 10 points to Barbara after such a good start.
Excalibur is an awful English corruption of the name which changed many times, but was actually called:
Caledfwych which is Welsh for hard cut.
That's appropriate since a lot of Welsh are hard cut most of the time - or is that half cut?

It was indeed,"Clarence!".
How that must have terrified his foes.
Especially if they were actually called Clarence.
5 pts.
- 1 for the answer being posed as a question, though.
'cos I'm mean.
Just makes me think of Clarence the cross eyed lion who was on tv when I was a kid.
Wonder if Newport's Clarence Place is anything to do with that?
It's not too far from Caerleon which is also part of the leg end

Here's a question for you.
A version of the legend says that King Arthur will awaken one day when the world needs him most.
When it is time he will be woken by a small being bearing a hot drink
Do you know what/who this being is?

I always think of the cross-eyed lion too.
Showing our age.
And the rubbish we watched onTV.

Nope, don't know this, though he's supposed to welcome another KIng.
I have a sneaking suspicion that a bad pun is in the offing.

This is my version and the being is a Goblin Teasmade!
Award yourself a point for guessing it was a bad joke!
Thanks, I will.
And minus several to you for that terrible joke.
But lots of points for knowing a butter hamlet is a fish.
Brightly coloured tropical fish, each being male and female.
There are 10 different colours, but we don't know if this is 10 species or just colour variations of the same species.

A few years ago the French relaxed their laws on what names could be used to name babies.
The year after, the most popular boy's name that had previously been banned was......?
