Which is the correct spelling please?
Both are evident in signage throughout Swansea and I'm informed it's not the English/Welsh spelling. | |

I remember being confused once talking to a French guy at the rugby in Paris. He said that he'd stayed at a town near Swansea called Ponadoolay. | |

Never took you to be a Jacko. Out of curiosity, do you call it Rhos or The Rhos ? | |

Quite a non sensical response as I was talking about "the land", i.e. Wales, and not anywhere else like, for instance, South Africa. What a tool.! | |

My ex was from the Bont.
Took me a good few years after moving to Swansea before I could pronounce local place names like Cwmrhydyceirw & Ystalyfera.
Mind you, some Yorkshire place names are a bit tricky - mainly because locals refuse to pronounce them the way they look on the page.
Examples:
Allerton - pronounced "Ollerton"
Sowerby - pronounced "Sawby"
Slaithwaite - pronounced "Slough-it"
Northowram - pronounced "North-are-ram"
Mytholmroyd - pronounced "My-thum-Royd"
Leeds - pronounced "sh*t"
Etc. | | | |

As an English speaking Welshman (who has worked down there - not that that alters my thinking) it's a double D. | |

Apparently Gambia is known as The Gambia because of the river. Useless piece of information, but it may explain why some other place names are preceded by The. | |

Definitely a double D for me as well.
The bra size isn't too bad either.
Side note: it would make my life a little less miserable if people all over the net stopped using the word "defiantly" - it's DEFINITELY" for fugs sake! | | | |

Doesn't matter how you spell. It's pronounced Ponterdillis. | |
