You were missing one of the <go's> at the end.
A former good friend and neighbour when I lived in the UK was born just a few miles from there. She regularly went shopping in Llanfair PG until she left the island and moved to my town.

wow what a name for a town.
I doubt I could pronounce it, but then again, I might be able to slur it out after drinking 12 pints of the black stuff.
That jokes been used with a town here in Florida called Kissimme . The correct pronunciation is Kiss-sim-me.
The confused think it's. Kiss-
-me.

As Al Murray says "What's up with the French? They have a town called "Brest", yet none of them find it funny"!
The whole Llanfair ...... name things is a bit of a con; it was originally just known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll but the name as we know it today was cobbled together in 1860 as an early example of a publicity stunt, to ensure they had the longest railway station nameplate in Britain.
