Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch......."is the name of a Welsh town" TRUE


On a beautiful summer's day, two foregn tourists were driving through Wales

Upon arriving atLlanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch,they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the waitress………….

“Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us.
Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?”











The girl leaned over and said................“Burrr Gurrr King."





I know it's stupid but for that reason alone it could be so true EricT

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.

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.

You colonials have enough trouble with English

Well now, that was completely uncalled for.

Relax with this nice little village here in Austria, much easier to spell for you gentlemen....



Best,

Can't think what that might say

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.
