I once saw a car bumper sticker urging support for an
organization called VFW (Vowels for Wales). :-)

Disclaimer: though "Roberts" is allegedly a Welsh name, I do not
actually speak any Welsh, nor do I know the Welsh term for 3-D.

For 3D enthusiasts interested in architecture, Portmeirion
is the location of "The Village", as depicted in the old
TV series "The Prisoner". See
