The locals don't of course call it by it's full name. Most commonly it's Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll.

Pronounciation has already been mentioned, but fair is pronounced fire, so to the extent that it's possible to describe sounds in print, the usual name is something like
thlan-fire-poothl.

Not quite correct. 'Fair' is pronounced 'vire' as 'f' is always pronounced 'v'.

Yes, I was forgetting that.
I know a tiny bit of Welsh but I'm certainly not even close to fluent.

Of course the main thing is obviously no one who has posted has ever been there......

Despite being internationally renowned as one of the longest place names in the world.
Taumata whaka tangi hanga koauau o tamatea turi pukakapi ki maunga horo nuku poka i whenua kitana tahu translates as the 'place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as land-eater, played his flute to his loved one'. This is the place name recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as it is often written without spaces.....

Back to the point, if you've ever been to LlanfairPG you'd know there is no Burger King there.... in fact there is about 6 houses and a post officce... Laughing
