On a beautiful summer's day, two English 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 slowly?'.................






The girl leaned over and said, 'Burr...gurr....king'

I think you might have one too many letters in there.

Actually I think it's short two letters - when I was studying in Aberystwyth the local staff took great delight in trying to teach the students how to pronounce LlanfairPG and I was taught that it was spelled:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch

Not sure about that y before llll as it changes the pronunciation of the w - wll is quite different from wyll.

Ok. Thought you meant Burger King! 

Looks like both of us were right in our own way DP

Yes, I too forgot about the mutation after Llan - unforgivable coming from Llandudno (Parish of St.Tudno)
