The word is derived from the Greek galaxias (γαλαξίας), literally 'milky',
hence the land flowing with milk (γαλα) and honey (μελι).

Kartazion seems to imply he knows where it's from, so... @Kartazion do you know where that text is from?
This text comes from an occult origin where simply the substitution of land is galaxy.

It is also a seed story where only the good plants will be kept and the weeds will be used to be able to create a difference in tolerance potential which will allow the forces of good and evil to be balanced.

So you'm talkin' 'bout Devon, eh? Been there. Lovely. Cream tea with honey - can't be beat.

That’s rather thick milk, almost butter, but I think you are right. Perhaps we’d better start breaking out Parry’s sheet music!

Cornishmen have always distinguished between Cornwall and England (everything east of Launceston) but the motto "Do Different" is usually assigned to Norwich, than which you cannot get away much further (OK, you try not ending that sentence with a preposition!).

Fact is, however, that there is no real conflict, just rational engineering:

Structural integrity depends on the age of the scone and the viscosity of the cream.  Spreading clotted cream (Cornwall) can destroy a fresh crumbly substrate, so you need to apply a base coat of adhesive jam, but once the scone is more than a couple of hours old it needs tempering with liquid cream (Devon) to prevent it exploding at the first bite.
