The
people of Britain need to know the weather they're facing when going
out in the morning. If you live in the town
of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in
northwestern Wales, then you'll have sunshine and warm temperatures.
At 58 characters long, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
is the longest place name in all of Europe. Can you pronounce it? Liam
Dutton, a weatherman with Channel 4 News, can. Watch it pour off his tongue with ease in this weather report. Dutton told the Daily Mail that he even pronounced it correctly on the first try.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
might be easy for Dutton. Perhaps he should next try the longest place
name in the entire world:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu,
New Zealand. That's 85 characters long.
