And because someone mentioned "the longest word that isn't a Welsh Town", a story about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
- When I was a grubby teenager we had codewords based on place names we wrote on "love-letter" envelopes: BURMA=Be Undressed Ready my Angel; Norwich=(k)Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home, etc. You get the picture, right? The august Daily Telegraph had a competition a few years ago for some new ones, and Llan... won with a phrase starting "Listen Love, Accountancy's No Fun.." and ending up "Oh God, Oh God, Oh Christ, Hanky!"
I didn't find the complete answer with Google yet - can anyone post it?
