    The name "Avon" is a cognate of the Welsh word afon, "river". The Avon rises just north of the village of Acton Turville in South Gloucestershire, before flowing through Wiltshire. In its lower reaches from Bath to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth near Bristol, the river is navigable and known as the Avon Navigation.

    We were never conquered which is why our language is older than yours.
    The celtic languages, including cornish was what was spoken before the bastardised language that is english came into existence. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    We couldn't call it the Taff - that was already taken, so we went with sponsorship from a cosmetics firm.

    There is no "v" in the welsh language, though avon could be an anglicised version of the welsh afon or river. That would make the river avon the river river! :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    That’s what I heard. When the Romans asked a local what the name of the river was, a Welshman who happened to be there at the time called it Afon.
    The Romens then documented it as the river Avon.

    I wonder how the Hampshire Avon got its name then? Bit far away for us welshies to be speaking with romans.

    Anyway, back on topic, what has the river avon got to do with gay footballers?
    Not a cryptic question or joke, we just seem to have wandered a bit. <sorry>
