My wife had me stand by a sign in North Wales for a photograph. It was Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,I've been there, and Wank in Bavaria. And Condom in France, where I actually got a mate to stand next to the sign as proof. It's not that I've been on a tour of rude place names, but I've certainly come across a few in my travels. Mostly while motorbike touring, where back roads and detours for the heck of it make more sense than autobahn.
The link doesn't work for me.This one made me chuckle the other day ...

It is if she now calls you a "silly ogogoch" at the slightest provocation! How much of that sign fitted in the picture?My wife had me stand by a sign in North Wales for a photograph. It was Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,
but that isn't funny, is it?
I know. I posted the same photo days ago. See Welsh Sign in this forum. Your link gives me a blank page.The Welsh says "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated."
You remind me of a really funny bit in Goodies in Wales. They get on a train, the station sign says Llan. The train moves, and when the sign reads ogogoch they get off as it's their stop.It is if she now calls you a "silly ogogoch" at the slightest provocation! How much of that sign fitted in the picture?
