Silly sign!

Do you wanna live there?

Is that as long, or longer than that Welsh town with a humongous name? I can't remember it... any ideas? Because that's one WHOPPING name. Imagine having to write it as address ^^;;

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
It means 'St.Mary's Church in the hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of Tysilio by the Red Cave'.
It's not the longest place name in the world; that is held by someplace in New Zealand. But it's at least the railway station with the longest name in the world.

Well, thank you ^_^ I knew I'd seen it on "How 2" once, and could only remember the "gogogoch" bit.

Thank you >D
