Cymru

For those of you who aren't aware of it... Cymru (aka Cmyry aka Gmyru) means 'Wales'. In Welsh.

This means that as you drive out of London and head west, you will at some point start seeing signs in a different language, with many more y's and d's than you're accustomed to. Cardiff will become Caerdydd. And you will see new and strange words like mawr and gwasanaethau and araf. If you stay long enough, you will begin to understand what the elves are saying in Lord of the Rings.

There is a cartoon museum in London. And in this museum, there is an extremely funny sketch of Tolkien at his typewriter. In panel 1, he stares at his typewriter looking for inspiration. In panel 2, he cries out in frustration and slams his hand down on the keys. In panel 3, he sees Mgmmrw randomly printed on the paper in front of him. In panel 4, he sits up in delight and carries on - Mgwwrw lived in the forest of Ryddrfwn...

I would have taken a photo of it, but it wasn't allowed. The heddlu would have come after me.
