Long
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 letters) in Wales is supposed, according to some, to be the longest place name in the world. However I read in an article this week that New Zealand beats it with Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturi
pukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu which has 92 letters.
The website linked above, however, claims that there is a name in Thailand which pummels both of them, and it's Bangkok. Or as it is otherwise known, Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop
nopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn
amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasi (163 letters).
This week I have been planning my trip back to London (6 letters). I should be with you Brits at the end of January due to restrictions on my return flight. I'll have been out of the country for a whole year. Has it changed much? Anyone fancy a pint?

Is this for good or for your month off?
The Northern Line's buggered, if that's any news to you.

For good (well, a year or so anyway).
