Conspiracy theory
Ok... Now as much as I like the Welsh, is it a conspiracy that leads them to name their towns so the English can't say them? Bwlchgwyn!!! Worked there last week and had to stop and ask for directions!?! See my conundrum? How do you begin to pronounce a word that has zero number of vowels? How much of a dick did I feel when I got sniggered at by a wrinkly old timer, like I was a five year old.. Bwlch-y-Ffridd... Llwynderw... Seeing a pattern? Yup. They hate me at work. "Lets send him to some remote village in the mountains, where sat-navs don't work and they don't have shops to ask for directions in..... That'll teach the bugger a lesson!" The only place I haven't worked, and would dearly love to but it doesn't exist is Pant-y-fan...... Yes.... I am ten years old!!

Funny. I would never be able to pronounce those words, however, we have a few members on PC from Wales, perhaps they could break the place name down for us English folk!!

You're very funny!
Ah yes we do have a few Welsh member on PC who could help and then you could thumb your nose at the people who send you out to impossible to pronounce places.
Never forget the first time I asked directions here in Norfolk, er, excuse me, could you tell me how to get to WYMONDHAM (PRONOUNCED AS SPELT) think you have said that wrong they said, should be WINDHAM, well you could have fooled me.!!
