Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.mobi
Now, before anyone thinks I've totally lost my marbles, this was/is for a bit of fun, I don't think for one moment, this is going to make me a lot of money!
I really have (really!) registered the following name:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.mobi WikiPedia.org say:
Quote: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch, also spelt Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll, is a village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to Menai Bridge and across the strait from Bangor.
The long form of the name is the longest officially recognised place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest in the world, being 58 letters in length (51 letters in the Welsh alphabet, where "ch" and "ll" count as individual letters).
The name means: "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".
According to the UK Census 2001, the population of Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll Community is 3,040 people.[1] Also, the census reveals that 76% of the population speak Welsh fluently, with the highest percentage of speakers being in the 10–14 age group where 97.1% are able to speak Welsh.
Imagine typing that into your mobile?!
