    It's specifically about the Church of England and is the opposition to the disestablishment of that institution. Love to know the context it was used, unless it was "antidisestablishmentarianism is a long word isn't it."

    Tritium was once widely used to make watches luminous but now only by a couple of companies as it is radioactive. Apparently it is only radioactive for about 12 years. Seiko RAF issue chronographs from the 1980s with "T" on the dial (for tritium) are very collectable and going up in value. Some navy personel were issued them as well but they were subsequently banned in nuclear submarines as they set the Geiger counters off. Wonder how long it took them to figure that out? "sh't, return to base, the reactor's leaking" - 24 hours later - "it's ok, it's Jimmy's watch" :D:D

    No one, and I mean not one native Welsh speaker, uses the full name for this little village on Anglesey in their day-to-day conversations. The only time we ever make full use of the title is when an English speaker asks us.


    “Llanfair PG” is the accepted term for the village, and even people from Llanfair PG call it Llanfair PG. Although to be fair, people from Llanfair PG just call it “home”.

    Two questions. Why PG? and can you say it? I'm not sure if its something that you're all taught as kids or not.

    P G - an abbreviation of the first part of the name Llanfair Pwll Gwyngyll.
    I can say it - oddly enough I don't ever recall someone teaching me how to say it - think it was one of those things Welsh children pick up.

    Isn't that a joke from Blackadder? He says to the Prince he'll be back before he can say antidisestablishmentarianism.

    Been through it on the way to Holyhead. The Station sign is bigger than the village.
