The longest name tag

 A Scout Group name tag made for Hatty?

MaC saw a post on 1st Facebook Scout Group advertising an unusual group name tag for sale as part of their Jamboree fundraising and immediately thought it should go on Hatty or Hatty2. (If you've never met Hatty you can find her blog at https://hattyandmac.blogspot.com/ ), So he sent off for one......

When the name tag arrived. mini-MaC showed it to Sid and a couple of friends. "Stretch it out", he said, "and as you go, try to work out what the name is and tell me."

 

Sid and Joe tried to pull it with Jade's help. It was very long and they agreed that they should wait until the morning and try again with some extra help.

 
First to arrive and help was Becca. She had no idea what the name was.
 
Then Bob came to help. He thought he knew what the name was - he told mini-MaC. "More-or-less" said mini-MaC, "but you couldn't actually SAY where it came from".
 
Aggie was next. "No idea", she said.
 
Then Chris. His guess was partly right, but he didn't know how to stop saying it!
 
Owly didn't have a clue.
 
Of course bookworm Edgar knew what the place was "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"!
 
 "I knew it was that place in Anglesea", said Bob. "It's the longest place name in Great Britain, but there's no way I can SAY it!"
 
"Well", said Becca. "Who'd have thought that! The name was coined as a publicity gimmick in the 1860s by concatenating the names of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll ("St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel"), the nearby hamlet of Llantysilio Gogogoch ("the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"), and the chwyrn drobwll ("rapid whirlpool") between them."
 
"Wow", said Mini MaC. "Some PR Gimmick! I need a coffee after that!". Everyone laughed!

Everyone agreed that the name tag will look great on Hatty2.
