1. Ha!

That’s funny!

Back when I did paste-up at a commercial printers’, we once printed a song book for a Welsh heritage society. That type of spelling isn’t that far off! And I had the job of proofing and making corrections!

2. I've actually visited that town.

And I've been given some VERY kind and patient lessons on the pronunciation of many of the places I've visited, in Wales. I never did catch on to that one!

20. There is also a BBC series, Hidden, set in NW Wales. I watch the DVD's (from the library)...

15. How do you pronounce your user name?

I have some Morgans and Williams in the family tree a few generations ago. I think they left Wales to escape the language.

16. It's the Welsh spelling of Susan

Pronounced pretty much the same.

And it's called Llanfair P.G. for short.

12. Yes, he is. As is Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce, Dame Shirley Bassey, and the late Richard Burton

Wales has produced quite an abundance of talented individuals.
