Not so funny at all. It was watching him here in the U.S. during "Good Morning America" on ABC that brought it to mind for my comment!

I thought you might have seen it Fr. Bill, it was MrSimsFaniFIN's comment asking about pronunciation that I was referring to

I just want to see it on a road sign. Going to be a looong sign.

Fun fact. The Welsh people named the town that long to piss off the English who would frequently visit Wales on holiday and miss pronounce Welsh names or even rename towns in English. A LOT of Welsh towns have two names, one in English one in Welsh. So to "fight back" at the English they renamed the town so no English people would ever stand a chance at ponouncing it.

On actual road signs is just the short name for the town but it would be a fun easter egg.

In all seriousnes though, Wales needs a lot of love.

All the British Isles need some love.

I actually drove by this place on the A55 two years ago...

Ah that's awesome. Nice to see people who have visited Wales.

I have a keyring from there which means that my keys will only fit in my jacket pocket!

The one city I have been waiting for since ETS1 is Leeds, which nobody has ever done. Its a major city for the UK and one that should have been in the game right from the start of the series.
From wikipedia

Leeds is the starting-point of the A62, A63, A64, A65 and A660 roads, and is also situated on the A58 and A61. The M1 and M62 intersect to its south and the A1(M) passes to the east. Leeds is one of the principal hubs of the northern motorway network. Additionally, there is an urban motorway network; the radial M621 takes traffic into central Leeds from the M62 and M1. There is an Inner Ring Road with part motorway status and an Outer Ring Road. Part of the city centre is pedestrianised, and is encircled by the clockwise-only Loop Road

I think Leeds would be a good addition, was alright when I stayed there for a couple nights. I can kind of understand why they didn't put it in though, what with the area being rather crowded with Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in such a tiny map.

What I'd love to see, if North Wales is added as a link to Ireland via Holyhead(Caergybi) is a remaking of the M56-A483 section, maybe have it so the M56 becomes the A55 (I don't see much point in making the M53) then have then have a slip road off onto a roundabout before the Welsh border, more like on the real road.
Also you could even add that hectic Alltami Junction (33b) with the A494 just past Chester, I almost go wrong every time!
I mostly hope the A55 is made because of the magnificent scenery along the road, especially Rhuallt hill (http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/imag ... _99898.jpg) and the mountains near Colwyn Bay
