Iesu Grist!

I swear, the DNN radio news network is appalling! *shakes head in bemusement* I know Welsh is tricky for non-speakers - especially those who don't live in the country - but some of the mistakes they make are unbelievable!

Tonight's example: There was just a news item about Ian McKellan doing a remake of The Prisoner, and the newsreader happily declared that the original series was filmed in Port Marie-On!

It's Port-My-Ree-On you numpties! Do some bloody research before you record these things, so you don't make yourselves look like complete pillocks!

*exhales*

Ddu dda...

Now you have me wondering if I've been pronouncing it wrong all these years. I've been there twice (BIG Prisoner fan), but I am American, so maybe I can be forgiven (please?). I will have to meet you someday, and you can teach me the correct way to pronounce it.

On a related note: Is it still open to stay there, do you know? Hubby and I were talking just yesterday how we needed to visit and actually spend a night or two there if we could. He's never been, and I've only ever visited, and that was over 20 years ago, omg.
