From the page: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a small town on the Isle of Anglesey, which is located off the northwest coast of North Wales." The name is probably longer than the town! Man, am I glad I didn't grow up there!

Heh. Gotta love the Welsh. I actually remember John Clease doing a bit on Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch during his "I'm sorry, I'll read that again" days. It was full of stuff on how Martian the Welsh language sounds in general, and the absurdity of doing a Newscast in Welsh in particular.

"The main attraction in town is easy to find: it's the town's name spelled out on a long sign at the train station." oh wow this place is wonderful, you could take your picture at some stupid sign of their stupid name they made for the tourists like you.
