The longest word (allegedly), has 189,810 letters, and takes 3 hours to pronounce. Just an hour more than that silly village in Welsh Wales: 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch'.

Hiya Jerks, hope all is well with you. Yes we'll be popping down to Malmesbury at the end of next month again. Hope the weather picks up, as it's been lousy so far. Anyway, who cares ? Once you're there the weather is insignificant.
