She never taught me, but I remembered the other day that I taught myself the (you'd have to be a certain age to remember this!) Lone Ranger song Tonto bit.. "Tarmakawakatani... " etc.. and (even older!) the Pepsi ad .. "Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastin... etc).
Weird kid huh? (or weirder that I still remember them?)

LLanfair PG to the locals
Not exactly.
The village is actually called Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll, which is shortened to Llanfair PG. The long name is only the name of the station, which was made up by a Victorian entrepreneur specifically to be the longest placename in Europe as a tourist attraction.
Worked pretty well too.
