Doesn't count, it's Porangahau (shortened version) in the South Island, a land 'remote from the concerns of man'.

I should emphasise that it doesn't count because it's on the South Island. The name, when translated, is all about some bony-kneed traveller slip-sliding down the hill as he played a flute to his beloved.
Whereas the one in Wales translates as to something like 'A-manufactured-long-name-used-to-entice-anorak-wearing-train-spotting-geeks-to-spend-tuppence-on-a-platform-ticket-and-therefore-boost-the-local-economy'

Anoraks aren't compulsory either. If more kids took up the hobby it would reduce the crime rate because they would be having so much fun. |

That's nothing to what my Cardiff-born, choir-singing, Felinfoel drinking, Richard Burton sounding step-father-in-law is threatening me with!

Apologies, I did read it back and realised I'd made a 'stereotypical' assumption. It should actually read 'parka-wearing'.
