Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Ci-dessous, vous trouverez notre courrier adressé au Directeur de publication de Nantes Passion (magazine municipal nantais) suite à l'article paru dans le n° d'octobre 2011 - voir pièce jointe.

Vous en souhaitant bonne lecture,

Le Conseil d'Administration de Bretagne Réunie

Nantes Passion

A l'attention de Monsieur le Directeur de publication

Mairie de Nantes

Nantes le 1 novembre 2011

Monsieur le Directeur de publication de Nantes Passion,

Dans votre revue municipale d'octobre 2011 dont la page 47 est consacrée à une présentation du château des ducs de Bretagne, l'article commence par cette accroche : 

"On le dit château de la Loire".

Pouvez-vous nous indiquer qui se cache derrière ce "on" ?

En se rendant sur les moteurs de recherche, nous constatons que seuls, les sites internet officiels en lien avec la ville de Nantes ou la région des Pays de la Loire, utilisent cette expression.

En faisant également un rapide examen des sites historiques, nous remarquons que cette affirmation n'apparaît qu'à la fin du XXème siècle et est uniquement utilisée dans les discours officiels d'élus ou d'agents de collectivités territoriales en lien avec ces élus. 

Cette expression, loin d'être neutre, est pourtant utilisée en contradiction avec le bon usage de la langue Française dont le sens même des mots est volontairement détourné.

L'expression châteaux de la Loire regroupe sous une même appellation un ensemble de châteaux français situés dans le val de Loire. Ils ont la particularité d'avoir été, pour la plupart, bâtis ou fortement remaniés à la Renaissance française, à une époque où la cour des rois de France était installée dans cette région.

Le château des ducs de Bretagne ne correspond pas à cette définition.

Il ne fait donc pas partie des châteaux de la Loire.

Afin de ne pas en conclure que l'utilisation de cette expression est soit la conséquence d'un manque de culture générale soit la preuve de la volonté de manipulation des mots pour réécrire l'histoire et la géographie nantaise afin de la détacher un peu plus du reste de la Bretagne, pouvez-vous nous transmettre les données factuelles de vos travaux concernant ce « on dit ».

    

Certain que les informations diffusées dans votre magazine ne reposent pas sur les « on dit » du « café du commerce »,

Veuillez au nom de Bretagne Réunie recevoir, Monsieur le Directeur, mes meilleures salutations bretonnes, françaises et européennes.

THE big match but one

The biggest day in Welsh rugby history is already upon us in New Zealand; we've got the youth, the fitness & the urgency, will we be ruthless enough near their line, lack of experience will givel youth its head which could be good or bad depending on which French team comes out, they are famous for their inconsistencies; we can't afford to give the ball away, no loose passes leading to interceptions and discipline is vital in the scrum; for once we have strength in depth, it's exciting to know that we have Hook & the Williams boys in reserve to finish them off if need be.

Llyn Syfaddan & Llyn Tegid

Simon Jenkins in his book 'Wales Churches, Houses, Castles,' under 'Treberfedd' writes "...... on the shores of neighbouring Tal y Llyn, the largest natural lake in South Wales." I'd like to point out that 'Tal y Llyn' (Brow of the Lake) is not the lake itself but the name of more than one community on the shores of 'Llyn Syfaddan' or as it erroneously called 'Llangorse Lake', as 'Llyn Tegid' is called 'Bala Lake'. The parish is 'Llyn Safaddan'. Considering the knowledge and eye to detail that otherwise goes into the tome I was taken aback, but there again it is neither church, house nor castle, surprising all the same considering its place in Welsh legend particularly of the swans recognition of the true Prince..

God's Country

I am now re-reading...

The last 18 months have been financially very difficult, but paradoxically my quality of life has leaped a hundred fold with the fresh air, the castles, cathedrals, churches & priories, walking in the forests and next to the rivers & canals, my efforts to become a market trader, more time for music and reading poetry, tales of Arthur & Merlin, history, and travelling Brittany taking photos. The pub will be re-opening in the spring, but briefly & directly I need help until then to keep the wolves (solicitors & baillifs) at bay; I need a loan of 750€ now in all urgency and a cushion further on, to split a metaphor, to keep my head above water, no point in having a drowned mine host at the open door of a newly refurbished tavern!

 Normalement si tout va bien je vais retourner au bar au printemps/If all goes well I'll be back behind the bar of 'Ty Elise/Chez Byn' in the spring, giving me an objective and bringing a bit of certainty back into my life.

 Went for a walk, took a chance with the weather, put on a pullover against the cold, walking warmed me up so took it off; caught in a light shower; 1.20pm to 4.43pm, satisfactory for my diabetes, went in the direction of Poullaouen and back: House > Bourg > Croix Breton > Le Hars > Trobescont > Tremelec > Pont de Pierres > Kergadiou > Kerbrat > Kerbrat Vihan > Bourg > House > food > Bowl of water for feet.

Building Bridges

Partly due to the mountains and lack of good road & rail connexions many Gogs North-Walians don't relate to the Hwntws (South-Walians) and vice versa; I write in my story "North Wales was foreign, strange, not like us.", so much for multiculturism! At the moment I'm reading The Island of Apples' about a boy growing up in a fictional Merthyr, written by Merthyr author Glyn Jones and first published in 1963; as if to confirm this, in his story on page 97 he states "He had some sort of foreign accent, he sounded like a Frenchman, or a North-Walian, or a German perhaps, but not guttural at all." So much rule from London and its east west roads has diverted attention from our national malaise, that we can't get on with each other, and different people have different perceptions of what it means to be Welsh, so long as we never met and lived parallel lives on parallel roads it didn't matter, and the decisions were made for us, now most of the important day to day legislation is in our own hands; in working together we have to trust and respect one another, we have bridges to build and a road & rail network to develop that works for the benefit of the whole of Cymru/Wales. 

P.P.S. Mr Lewis

In all fairness to English speakers it's not their fault that their language is a sponge going all around the world soaking up foreign words, which, when uttered in fashionable places, the real English words not to be spoken in polite society, they enter the dictionary with nobody asking from whence they came, it's not important, it came out of an English throat therefore it's an English word; it doesn't matter that it's French, German or even Indian, from the moment it comes out of an English larynx then it's English. If there's no comparative word or translation it becomes just another word in the thousands of its foreign counterparts that are added on to make up the language, and why not, but people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and the English language is the biggest glasshouse on the planet. I've been given an example today of someone saying that the Welsh don't have a word for sputnik, I ask you, if Welsh borrows 10s of words and English 10s of thousands, who should be putting down whom? the answer; nobody.
