My Welsh friends tell me they just call it Llanfair, pronounced yawn-fer, everybody there knows what you mean.
Lest we get too far off the subject, Wales, they do curling there too. And it's a major sport in Scotland, even bigger than caber tossing. Good excuse to have a wee nip. Gotta stay warm on the ice.
Saw an article the other day on the return of the Jamaican bobsled team. I'm all for that!
