One of the places Shirley I visited on our trip was LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLANTYSILIOG OGOGOCH, Wales. Now what can you guess is LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH's claim to fame? Yes, LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH is the name of the town that has the longest name in the world. It was a quaint little village and the LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCHians are very proud of their name and their place in the Guiness Book of World Records. Just ask any LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCHian you meet and he will say, "LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH'S name is famous all over the world and I am proud to call LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH my home. Everywhere I go when I say I am from LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH people have heard of my home town. We also have a championship rugby team. When they play we all cheer, LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH, LLANFARIPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH, LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH, go go go!" So if you are ever in Wales be sure and buy some of the great fish and chips at Cafe LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGOERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILI OGOGOGOCH and you tell them Ed sent you.

Can't figure out why there are spaces in the name. It must be a computer glitch. Oh yeah, how is it pronounced? Just like it is spelled except for when there is an LL. That is pronounced like you have a bug stuck in your throat while someone is choking you.

[82Rigger]

That would be the wrong place to have a bug in your throat and someone choking you, and afterward have to tell the ambulance where to come.

[Packo]

that name on a uniform. Your name tape would go from one arm, through the chest, down the other arm. Love to see my DI prounonce that one!

When Deb and I go overseas...we'll make that a stop for sure!

I can certainly understand people telling friends where going to before having a few
drinks at that Alphabet Cafe in Wales. But, and after actually having a few drinks there,
no-way-in-hell COULD I ever be able to tell ANYONE (even you Ed) where-the-hell I had
been,...even if having the sign of place right in front of me.

Would more likely & probably describe my pet Pink Elephants, infinitely better.

Must have been a name that came from drinking too much from a Welsh pub. Sober people wouldn't come up with a name like that.

We visited Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliow llllantysiliogogogoch a few years ago when we took our trip to Great Britian.

Did you take a ride on the little "canal tour boats" while you were there?

Some of the best scenery in all of Wales around that area. We also visited Bangor, Cardiff and Port Merion while we were there.

The Welsh people are very proud of their "language" differences with the English and don't DARE call a Welshman ( or anyone from Scotland either) an Englishman! They'll be opening up a can of "whoop ass" before you know it!

We had a great time on our trip to Great Britian, sounds like you did also.

That's kinda like Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, MA. In the 1920's, a reporter for The Webster Times, Lawrence J. Daly, wrote that it was a Nipmuck Indian word meaning "You fish on your side, I fish on my side and nobody fishes in the middle." That stuck even though Mr. Daly confessed repeatedly that he had made the whole thing up.

What it really means is "English knifemen and Nipmuck Indians at the boundary or neutral fishing place.", which is basically the same thing.

Sadly we just spent one day in Wales. We stopped on our way to London. Great fish and chips though.
