	It would be interesting if they explored Llamedos a bit more - many Welsh place names link to characteristics of places (So I bet you could have the ~~equivilant~~ to 'A rock' and 'A hard place' from Lancre) or it's mythology - which sadly seems quite forgotten by many. I wonder if there's a Snowdon equivalent, or whether the rain mines produce quality drinking water (sorry if that's already answered in Raising Steam - yet to read it yet). Maybe they have bilingual signs and publications everywhere. I also cant help but wonder if theres an ancient healing tradition like the Physicians of Myddfai.

Also (again I don't know whether this has already been mentioned on the Disc) I can't help but think of what [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0526721/quotes Blackadder III] mentioned about Wales:		It would be interesting if they explored Llamedos a bit more - many Welsh place names link to characteristics of places (So I bet you could have the equivalent to 'A rock' and 'A hard place' from Lancre) or it's mythology - which sadly seems quite forgotten by many.

Now, I'm not a Johnny Maxwell expert, but I don't recall any actual inter-universal transfers like Pepper being born on Discworld. A little [[Morphic resonance]] can be seen, but can anyone substantiate this physical connection? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 15:45, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

: You're a bit off. Pepper appears in [[Good Omens]]. I lent my copy to someone 15 years ago and I havn't gotten around to getting another one so can't verify the Pant-y-Girdl reference. Also I couldn't find my copy of [[Only you can save mankind]] to find out what her name was, Kylie, Kristeyin something. [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 16:26, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Erm, yes, I was just reading that and still seeing Maxwell (it's Kirsty)...anyway, the question remains. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 16:40, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
