Well done abgd; I wondered who'd spot my deliberate mistake first! As for pronunciation, in my younger days over 60 years ago we often travelled on a 'debble ducker' bus.
Many years ago I had a schoolteacher who was a volunteer on the Ffestiniog (have I got that right?) Railway in his spare time and he used to teach us these Welsh names. He was actually from Cornwall; are there any similarities between Cornish and Welsh?
