Just mapped it. What the heck is a mumbles?

I've been wondering that!  Maybe the native people to that region always mumbled the name of the place, so when the outsides came in and made the maps, they just called it "The Mumbles" as a joke.  :P

Wikipedia says this:  "Mumbles has been noted for its unusual place name. The headland is thought by some to have been named by French sailors, after the shape of the two anthropomorphic islands which comprise the headland: the word 'Mumbles' may be a corruption of the French 'les mamelles', meaning 'the breasts'. Another possible source of the name is from the word Mamucium which is generally thought to represent a Latinisation of an original Brythonic name, either from mamm- ("breast", in reference to a "breast-like hill") or from mamma ("mother", in reference to a local river goddess)."

Mumbles is the best beach in the UK!  It's a worm like isthmus with hills and you can walk out on it at low tide, but you'll get stuck when the tide comes in

There's some video on here of me kite buggying and you can see Mumbles in the background

Sorry to intrude on this bromance,

and someone probably already said this and I've missed it, but Dennys is going to open in Cardiff. (Just in case I didn't miss it because it wasn't here.)

Clearly he seeded that language in so that it was available  later.

Hey, I went out picking up chestnuts yesterday. They are round and prickly.

That's pretty impressive Son of Sailor, too bad it was a solitary act of self love.
