Channel 4 now, digging up the field/ancient roman fort above our house now.
I heard they'd been in last summer. Should be interesting
(Wish Tony Robinson would start pronouncing Caerau properly though )

They're still going? I had no idea.
So how do you pronounce it? I'd say kay-row (as in argument, not boating).

Well he was probably technically correct in strict Welsh pronunciation in saying it as
Kai Rai (or k-eye r-eye if that works better)
However nobody who lives there/here or in Cardiff in general calls it that- they say.
Kai-ra (short ending, not raaah) is what the locals call it and I'd go with them.
So it really grated when they kept saying 'wrongly'
Key: Complain about this post
