Anyone with a Welsh brain knows there is no V in the Welsh language so how on earth did your reporter manage this -Griffiths was today sentenced to nine months in prison at Caernarvon Crown Court.
Its Caernarfon for future reference. Its sad your reporters cannot spell.
Hugh are you sure – perhaps history needs revisiting:
Caernarfon (/kərˈnɑːrvən/; Welsh: [kaɨrˈnarvɔn]) is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales, with a population of 9,615 (this figure does not include nearby Bontnewydd or Caeathro, as they are in separate communities). It lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974, respectively.
