Llanfair aka: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Llanfair PG, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Llanfairpwll

just for the sign. There isn’t much else there but a tweed mill and of course the poor locals who have to put up with all the English speakers trying to pronounce it. (Tip Welsh people call it Llanfair p g. I know cos I am one ;) )

It’s so cool. I just like the name

My mother, who was born in Wales, sometimes earned change in the summers by waiting on the train station platform and reciting the name of the town on those passing through for vacation….

I’ve yet to make it to Wales, but when I do this will be one of the stops… the link here is to a .wav file of it being said…
