    I've been there and through there every year - in a beautiful part of the world....in my humble Welsh-rooted opinion! I can only pronounce the beginning and end of the place name, like they have on the road signs there :-)

    I would hate to be the one who has to write a letter from that location, especially if you have just moved to the area

    ROFL Awesome thanks. My lovely Aussie Sister-In-Law has lived in Wales for many years now and is coming back to Oz for a holiday in December bringing her hubby and their three kids - so we are looking forward to some belly laughs not only when we get them to talk in their native tongue but when we all try and have a crack at it.

    I drove to Wales this year and had my sat nav for the first time, and I kept cracking up at how the sat nav tried to pronounce the Welsh words.
    I think for that long name it can just be written as 'llanfairpwllgwyn...gogogoch'
    Not 100% sure if that's exactly right as I wrote it from memory lol

    Fantastic, this has made my day! I love all the pictures of Anglesey too - definitely one of my most favourite places in the world.

    I remember as a child meeting some family members who came to visit from Wales...and one of the things I remember being taught, and committed to memory, was how to say the name of this village! Thanks for the lovely reminder

    I'm gobsmacked - I only got 1 letter wrong !! That's cheered me up. I went there when I was 14 and memorised the name, obviously better than I thought

    Oh that was priceless!!! Thanks KevBoh and Sophie - absolutely loving the Welsh accent, and also loving how Sophie pronounces it - just as I do the middle part of the name - Llanfairpwllgwynlalalalalalalalagogogoch. Diolch :-)
