The Longest Place Name in the World?

[@calichef1962]

Juan, thank you so much for taking all of us on vacation with you and your family! I doubt I will ever get to see the UK, but I've always wanted to. Half my ancestors are from those little islands. I've been vicariously enjoying this trip more than I can say, or probably should admit. Thank you, Brown family! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

[@norcaljb2649]

I love 'tagging along' on your family journey, Juan! Please thank Jeni and the kids for allowing us to do so! ;-)

[@konzeptwerks6710]

It's amazing what those old, old timers could do with a 29 letter alphabet, no TV, radio or cinema, quill pens, lot's of time and some beer!

[@BillyLapTop]

Thank you for sharing your family's journeys. Very enlightening. Loved the ferry ride too. Stay safe.

[@kevinbrennan8794]

Thanks for sharing your family travels and adventures Juan. Love the videos.

[@weeniedogwrangler7096]

Glad I don't have to write that on an envelope when I put my return address on a letter.

[@markn.reprisal9472]

_If it's unpronounceable_ . . . _it's Welsh._

[@myrthagunter4141]

Snow bells, Juan. I have two set of the snow bells growing around my home. Beautiful , all the way around !

[@alabas4570]

"I can't read!" Best line for avoiding on-the-spot moments lol. I will use Pete's line in the future... "Sir, can I see your license and registration please" - "I can't read!"...hahaha

[@mgetrich0]

..

[@davidfalgout7304]

Enjoyed ....thanks for your vicarious inclinations. I flew a mighty Luscombe a few times. I should have bought the plane that day!

[@mkilner]

The druids had a stronghold in Anglesey, there are a few stone circles to admire and amazing coastline, so many places to see, Love it!

[@markpearce9619]

Hey guys! .… you made it to THAT place! So glad a spot of blue sky and sunshine finally showed up for you, too. I'm afraid Jeni is outscoring you on the Welsh place names pronunciation every single time, Juan. But keep practicing, eh. But Pete's the smartest of the lot of ya, playing his "I can't read' joker. Good job, Pete. And a really great job on saying the Y Ddraid Goch', too, Keep on happy holidaying, and once again, thank you guys all for sharing your great adventure with us. 👍👍 Iechyd dda i chi.' 😎🌞🌞

[@caahacky]

Congratulations - it wasn't raining!

[@99999janice]

Juan, you really do take the road less traveled. What fun! Thanks ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️

[@mrclucker1969]

Glad you learnt the shorter Llanfair PG name - it gets a bit long winded! Our local village is called Rhosllanerchrygog, but is known as Rhos (pronounced r-oh-ss).

[@willmoritz5493]

Pffft .... 28 and a half? (in the credits) You, sir, are well trained. Great video's. Keep the entertainment coming. Be safe and thanks

[@MarkTillotson]

Its pretty well known around the UK as the longest placename, but other than being in Wales I had no idea where it was until the train I was on stopped there en-route to Holyhead ferry terminal and I looked up and saw the station name sign!

[@jamc1035]

Hay so glad your in Wales would have been nice to meet up and bye you a coffee been watching all your vids keep up the good work enjoy your trip.

[@ChrisB257]

Thanks again for sharing your vacation Juan. Hope you enjoy Eire.

[@Jules-6022]

First! 🤗 Wow! Try saying that name five times fast! Enjoying your travels, thanks for sharing 😁

[@julieh3327]

That is boot picnic! The bonnet is the hood of the car! :D.

[@Flightstar]

My tongue would need to be hospitalized if I tried to pronounce that.

[@TheDrloboski]

Just beautiful.

[@sithus1966]

Not bonnet picnic, boot picnic. Bonnet's in the front with the engine, boots in the back. My wife is Britsh, half Welsh. Heard her say that name many times before. She speaks some Welsh, but growing up it was discouraged in school she says.

[@blancolirio]

Boot! That's it! lol

[@edgarw5919]

what a classic name. very good.

[@AllanMain]

So much history that you could spend a life time exploring Britain and never see it all. I got to England and Scotland for two short weeks in 2015 but if I win the lotto I will get a motor home and spend what ever it takes to mooch around the countryside. I bet the average Brit just takes it all for granted but when your from a country with less than 200 years of colonial history and barely 700 years of any human residence at all, then the old countries are simply awe inspiring.

[@calichef1962]

So... I guess the Native Americans with a10,000+ year history here aren't "human" then? That was an incredibly ignorant thing for you to say.

[@AllanMain]

calichef1962 Why is it a terrible thing to say. I'm from New Zealand so what In said for my part is 100% correct.

[@MarcABrown-tt1fp]

calichef1962 He did not dismiss anything about Native Americans and their history. Do not put words in his mouth.

[@mc52]

Thanks for sharing Juan!

[@poppopscarvinshop]

It's a Wonderful thing that your kids are getting to travel like that! Just Fantastic!

[@kimberleytui179]

Kempton Pumping Station in G.B.. Don't know when they give tours maybe someday. Check it out on KZbin. Engin is the same size as Titanic.

[@Buttersdynamite1]

I'm so glad I found this channel year ago. while looking info about Orovile dam. Best of luck from Lithuania :D My avatar is very misleading. :D

[@theflyingfool]

Nice one Juan! Glad you saw the statue of Nelson too. There are some really big spiders living inside that! If you're still on Anglesey, Parys Mountain, Holyhead Mountain (view of Ireland and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland on a good day) and a beach like Newborough (£4 parking fee) would be a good mix. Have a great time!

[@fynbo1007]

Thank you for sharing your amazing video, enjoy your vacation

[@garyreed2206]

When that local lady said it, it didn't sound that hard. Easier "SAID" than done, I guess.

[@dlwatib]

If I were a local I would charge at least a pound for that performance.

[@Ryan_Harkin]

I went on a school coach trip there when I was a child. Went to that shop 03:31 There was also a coach full of American children there too. I remember thinking I thought I had it bad having to sit on a coach for four hours lol.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Watch the station being told in the captions when you turn it on...some funny words come up!! 😂😊

[@davidrodgers45]

Not sure if there's a mention of this further down the list or not but the actual longest place name in an English speaking nation is described as follows: Hawkes Bay Tourism's Internet site says that Porangahau in New Zealand's South Island, "boasts the longest place name in the world: Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu, officially entered in the Guinness Book of Records." That stretches the name to 92 letters.

[@nashguy207]

Love petes answer "I can't read" I'LL pass on trying to spell or pronounce the name of that place. Love in the credits jeni 28 1/2 . Thanks for sharing the trip with use. Have enjoyed all the videos. Have a great day!!! God Bless

[@nmccw3245]

Don't worry Pete. I can't read that either.

[@shellykennedy5427]

Where else but Wales? 😂 Looks like a fun trip.

[@arkansas1336]

Looks like a fun vacation, thanks for sharing! ....13

[@richardburguillos3118]

Wow! I thought Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was long.. like to see that town name on a shirt.

[@nedloh17]

Hope you visited RAF valley while you were there

[@Truckee-td5ud]

That was fun 👍🏻 The old cemetery was awesome! Have to talked to chewy lately? Keep having fun and taking us along! ✌🏻

[@solomda1]

Reminds me of Robin Williams talking about golf. Thanks!!!

[@joncarver7932]

Good to see you in wales I been following your channel sine the Orvill Dam problem .As someone with an engineering background it was good to get the correct information other than the normal press ill informed rubbish . Enjoy the UK and keep up the good work

[@jeffricks2640]

i hope you are going to go to portmerion.....its amazing and just round the corner from where you are

[@stevesmith6459]

Down in South Wales there’s a place with NO English vowels. Ynysybwl. (sounds like Uhnuhsuhbool) BUT Y & W are vowels in Welsh. If you think it’s a strange language, just try Irish Gaelic.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

You're very lucky to have such a young wife, Juan. 😉😀 That's one heck of a name right there! We've got one for you right here in MA: Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg ... aka, Webster Lake, LOL. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Chaubunagungamaug There was a time where I could actually say it in one shot, but I think I've killed off a few brain cells over the years. It's become difficult. 😁 This trip has been great! Thanks for sharing!

[@tinasilver2281]

Luggage area at rear of car is referred to as "the boot". The bonnet is the front cover, usually over the engine. Try not to put "gas" (or LPG as it is known in UK) in a petrol car!

[@gerardacronin3095]

That’s not the bonnet. That’s the boot! The bonnet is in front where the engine is. Love your vlogs. You search out the quirky places!

[@NotUsingThisAccount2024]

Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu is the Māori name for a hill, 305 metres (1,001 ft) high, close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The name on the sign that marks the hill is "Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu", which translates roughly as "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one". At 85 letters, it has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the longest place name in the entire world. Sampled from 1976 (re-released in 1979) single "The Lone Ranger" by British band Quantum Jump. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6a1eaKdaK6Uh6s

[@DFDuck55]

Reminded me of German. They like to smoosh several words together into new long words.

[@phil.felton3065]

Jeni made a good stab at it and Pete did a good job with Ddraig Goch! Liked his welsh shirt too.

[@stevenbiars6212]

My brain just divided by zero.

[@clvskl5058]

Juan remember to kiss the Blarney Stone before leaving Ireland ,also look out for Caffreys, Beamish , and Murphy's, Very good for the heath. Clive

[@markviereck4547]

That music reminds me of Aliens.

[@WarzSchoolchild]

All of a sudden, Pete can't read! Hahaha!

[@ianclapham6990]

Pete can’t read bless the little man.

[@oceannavagator]

I see that you've taken a vacation from the razor too. Lol

[@sammygirl5835]

Around here that a boot picnic, don't know how much longer you are in a UK and/or Ireland for, but be warned, the 6 nations starts on Saturday.

[@NevilleStyke]

You seemed to be looking wistfully at the pub there, Juan?

[@scottnichols4801]

Hey Juan very big fan of yours I love the honesty and true facts just curious if you would report on yellowstone.

[@blancolirio]

Scott Nichols it aint gonna blow anytime soon, but she may eventually.

[@scottnichols4801]

blancolirio thanks for quick reply any Oroville updates I watched all of those awesome job

[@blancolirio]

Scott Nichols it might be awhile now...a couple weeks. My day job keeps calling me....lol.

[@scottnichols4801]

blancolirio cool thanks

[@olivier2553]

The Thai name of Bangkok is way longer, like 600 characters or something :)

[@easternwoods4378]

Kids are getting great education !!

[@kf6vfz655]

Not visiting THE VILLAGE? Number Two will be disappointed.

[@steamtrainmaker]

Last I was there you could not a fly on the car park it was so full. Electric mountain. Can get a tour in the turbine hall see them working but no sure can video it.

[@jimh.5286]

".....gogo-goch" It's also known as Gogo-Goch since there's a lot of goch gogo dancing that goes on there.

[@robertmorley3609]

Often known simply as Llanfair P.G. I heard it was made up by the railway company to entice visitors. I was there in about 1957.

[@blipco5]

Great trip. The Hat is back.

[@ronbutler6502]

TKS KISS IS A GREAT OLD EXPRESSION.....KEEP THE KIDS LEARNING GREAT PARENTING TKS RON AND VERO

[@ChristophersMum]

If that's where you are......it's definitely Wales!.......Enjoy. Will you be coming to Scotland? If you are take the A68, it is a small twisty and wyndy road, but the views are spectacular. It's full of history and ancient abbeys.

[@blancolirio]

Next time on a moto tour....

[@sonex413]

Greetings from lovely Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Massachusetts!

[@DaleB]

INDIANA JONES, HOW ARE YA?! Love the look and your lovely family. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@elliec3736]

So glad the weather was good for you. Enjoy your trip. We all know what will happen if you tell people where you are going next - I think you have a bigger fan base here than your President!

[@genebruce6321]

AKA Smithville.

[@stevevarholy2011]

Wales is wonderful. If you tell someone English that you like Wales they look at you as if you'd said you love West Virginia.

[@barryhansen6854]

I see you have now put Jeni age up LOL

[@culross99]

dude come to Scotland, very welcome.

[@blancolirio]

I'll be back! Moto tour next time...

[@ianclapham6990]

How much planning did you put in before you came here?

[@blancolirio]

Not much, just winging it and getting advice on the way...

[@benmorley2523]

Yes our trains in the UK seem quiet compared to your massive powerful trains in the US puts ours to shame haha. Wish we would import your locomotives from the states than Europe. At one point we use to manufactor our own trains. I love the classic F Units built by GE and E Units built by EMD of yours. The train in this clip was manufactured by Bombardier Transportation. If you did not now the train operator was Virgin Trains type of train was either Super Voyger 221 or Voyget 220 not quite the Starship.

[@blancolirio]

Very impressive trains!

[@treeclimbing7798]

Lol 😆 Was there in 1978 So they never shortened the name....good.

[@longdarkrideatnight]

Boot pick-nick

[@SgtBooker44]

Say that three times really fast.

[@JSpaulding]

Boot picnic?

[@blancolirio]

Yes!

[@sonex413]

tailgate cookout doesn't sound all that much better I'm afraid...

[@susanolson3611]

awesome!! 😁

[@rjprescott4742]

Bangkok's real name is longer

[@davidorpwoodnz]

the longest name of a place is in New Zealand 89 letters //not 52?

[@davidorpwoodnz]

just google longest town name in New Zealand & IT WILL GIVE IT IN MAORI & English translation..

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

A bit of useless information, that train station was made up by the English victorians as a bit of fun....

[@Idahoguy10157]

I thought Germans had the longest names. I stand corrected!

[@darrylmackenzie4440]

New Zealand has the longest place name i am sure ..83 letters even us kiwis have a problem with it. Check it out www.stuff.co.nz/video/96388758/New-Zealand-has-one-of-the-worlds-longest-place-names-but-can-you-pronounce-it Funnily I have been where you are in Wales but I don't ever recall going to this place in NZ. Better go next time i'm in the Hawkes Bay.

[@emmajacobs5575]

There was a song (Quantum Jump - 'The Lone Ranger') recorded in the 70s that used the NZ place name in its lyrics

[@darrylmackenzie4440]

Awesome musical & general knowledge combined . I have check it out . I wont be adding it to my playlist

[@chuckdrew5240]

Ha Ha yes Pete!!

[@dunkshome]
