Not on my (la)neli
If you want to know how not to pronounce Llanelli, call the town's Focus DIY store on 0844 8001504, listen to the lady on the automated message miss-pronounce the name and then laugh/cry.
If only they'd consulted the how do I say....? website

I am reminded of the time my husband and I were travelling on a train along the south coast of Wales. We overheard the following conversation between a nearby couple:-
She: Where are we?
He: (looking out at station nameboard) Lanelly.
Us:*Raise eyebrows & grin, but quietly!*

Oh dear, she didn't even make the slightest effort :-(
Apparently the Llanelli branch of Focus Do it All no longer exists - maybe this is why!
Well it's as good a reason as any for a business to fail...
The woman on the phone sounded quite bored with her lot anyway -- perhaps she'd spent all morning mangling the names of places all across the country? Have you tried phoning some other branches?
o dear. at least it made me smile more than it made me cry.
