Lunch at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch.


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

At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch,

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'

Hi Bemused Bystander, you did warn me, made me laugh.
Only one minor point, there isn't a Burger King in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch.
Thanks for the laugh though.

I know, I've been there. Used to be a petrol station with the name in big letters though.

Just checked it out on Google street view. It seems to be a very nice little town to live in.

Hello Mr Wilson, before you can live there you have to learn how to say "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch"
and know what it means.
Also the railway station platform had to be specially lengthened to fit the name, and you will need an ultra wide angle lens to take a photo or make a panorama shot.
Cheers
John
