Excellent news, the sandal and white sock wearing brigade of Watford, Dartford and Braintree will be tearing up their copies of the Daily Mail in faux outrage.

Most of the peaks in the Beacons already commonly use their Welsh names. Penyfan, Corn Du, Fan Y Big etc

At least they aren't being changed to red.

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More

I quite like the new name, once I get used to the spelling

I expect I will still call it the Brecon Beacons, but good point about the peaks already having Welsh names.

Fan Y Big etc

Some of these names just roll off the tongue.

Think I’ll just call it the beacons as I always have, and I’ll go and watch Wales play football too…..

A bit like Gabalfa, Llandaff and Llanedeyrn do?

Fan Y Big, named after a Merthyr girl I think?

This will greatly annoy some people for some reason

The outrage itself has been worth the name change alone

I quite like the Welsh name rebrands, if it makes the Country sound more interesting maybe it will bring in a few extra tourists if they can make it through the Brynglas Tunnel.

I suppose when they pick up three speeding tickets per visit, they probably won't come back ever though?

They can name it what they want but what has climate change got to do with it.

Apparently the earth’s atmosphere is 0.04% CO2 up from 0.03% 20 years ago.

“Tiny change in CO2”

You reckon a 33% increase in 20 years is a tiny change?

On those numbers yes , human activities are responsible for just 32 percent of that amount.
