In a protest against a wind farm, a village has renamed itself

Llanhyfryddawelllehyn-afolybarcudprindanfygy-thiadtrienusyrhafnauole

which means:

"a quiet beautiful village, an historic place with rare kite under threat from wretched blades"

and this is now the longest place name in the UK. *amused*

Wales still scares me.

If you ever fancy a return visit, I'll show you an episode of The Saint, in which Roger Moore finds himself in Wales, and rescues the hapless locals from giant, super-violent, sheep-eating, and of course "wretched", ants...
