I'll pass on that thanks.

That makes you second in the queue and me third then !
It needs a brave man to step forward and save us both

We'll need someone clever with money and has an expensive campervan......

Get away with you, we know you want to really, besides get her to wear a woolly coat and you’ll be well away

It doesn’t. It’s nothing to do with reducing the carbon. The Brecon Beacons is named after the burning of the Brecon creating beacons. So it’s symbolic to stop it referring to the name of the burning

It’s a Welsh national park, so changing it to the Welsh name for it is not hurting anyone. It’s not like they are renaming it anything different.

Regardless of people referring to the name of the Brecon Beacons I am struggling to understand what it has to do with a Bristol City forum

These pesky Welsh wanting a say in the name of their national parks, whatever next ? they’ll be wanting to change the name of their country next

I fail to understand how changing the name of a place reduces carbon emissions.

Here to help. A Beacon is a something that is on fire. We have seen how Welsh people react to toilets in BS3. They are not safe with fire!!

I had no idea. Thanks for enlightening me.
I knew that beacons could be fires of course, but I thought that it could also be a general name for any landmark that aided navigation, not just something on fire.
I also personally don't care what the locals want to call their land. It's up to them, but it will probably 'unofficially' remain commonly known as the Brecon Beacons.
A bit like Pembrokeshire was renamed Dyfydd for a while - but everyone referred to it as Pembrokeshire and eventually it reverted back

I just question whether in the cost of living crises, is this the best use of government/council money in all the signage and marketing that comes with the name change?

DOES seem like a waste.. now all over Wales historical names of towns villages and the suchlike have had extra big signage.. with ENGLISH and WELSH... Saint Athan always had me smiling .. Spelling is just a letter from end of Saint to start of Athan ......
