Follow me on:

Residents of Llanfynydd in Carmarthenshire, Wales are changing the name of their town to the 66-character-long Llanhyfryddawelllehyn-afolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole to protest the development of a wind power plant nearby. The new name means "A quiet beautiful village, an historic place with rare kite under threat from wretched blades."
