A remote village has been "renamed" in a symbolic gesture by residents opposed to plans for a nearby wind farm.
The protest group put up a new name sign at the entrance to Llanfynydd, in south-west Wales, claiming it is called Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole.
The move saw the Carmarthenshire community temporarily eclipse Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwchllantysiliogogogoch in North Wales, which currently holds the title for having the longest name in Britain. The 66-letter name, adopted by the Community of Llanfynydd Against Wind-Power Station (Claws) for one day, means: "A quiet beautiful village, an historic place with rare Kite under threat from wretched blades".
I could imagine asking for directions, "Excuse me - how do I get to Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole?
