Don't you mean clandudno"
Clandidno I thought it was pronounced? I’m sure some good welsh speakers will be along to set us straight. |

Listening to the media try and pronounce most Welsh place names is highly amusing though! Unless it's Huw Edwards or Alex Jones or someone  |

It’s hard to phonetically write Llandudno, a double L in welsh makes a, umm, it makes a, yeah I dunno how to write the sound it makes. Think about putting your tongue to the roof of your mouth, putting your teeth together and just blowing out till you gather spit, that’s the sound |

You know I’m sitting here trying to make the sound using your technique. I think I have it, but I have lobbed all over the mirror..  |

Put your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth and blow out past the sides of it it so it makes a kind of Donald Duck hissing type noise and that's close to the letter Ll |
