Uwchlwytho is “upload” as well I think… Tanysgrifio = Subscribe…useful for youtube videos 
As someone born in Gloucester, this is very interesting to me, although I normally have difficulty in remembering its Welsh name. Maybe now I’ll have a better chance of remembering it.

It is good to see the waterlogged nature of the place is still remembered. Last time they had bad floods it was reported as if totally unexpected!

I like this – there are a few, if you look for them, especially (but not solely) ones with caster/cester/chester in the name. Winchester (Caer-wynt) was Venta Belgarum, whence Anglo-Saxon Wintanceaster (the city of Winta); Cirencester was Roman Corinium, and apparently Caer Ceri in Old Welsh (Wikipedia to the rescue!), whence Cirrenceaster; and the Isle of Wight (Ynys Wyth) was Roman Vectis, then Old English Wiht, which follows the same pattern as ‘rect-angle’ vs. ‘right angle’ etc. And Caer Efrog, of course: York from Jorvik from Eoforwic from Eburacum. Any more for any more?

Phrase of the Day 09/05/2018
Today is a little different. I’m going to introduce a phrase/idiom.
Sul, gwyl a gwaith = seal - goo+eel - goo+ayth
Sul means Sunday.
Gŵyl means holiday or festival.
Gwaith means work.
This is an old idiom, depicting the division of one’s time - it’s either Sunday, a workday, or a holiday/day of celebration. It was/is used to basically mean all the time.
So if Hughes the postman wears the same shoes Sul, gŵyl a gwaith, it means that you will never see him wearing any other shoes.
Someone may have the same surly expression Sul, gŵyl a gwaith.
The corner shop may be open Sul, gŵyl a gwaith.
The family on the corner may have washing on the line Sul, gŵyl a gwaith
Or maybe the couple next door argue Sul, gŵyl a gwaith

Ymestyn means to stretch or extend.
You can ymestyn your limbs and you can ymestyn your house.
If you decide to ymestyn your house, you may have to ymestyn the time you give the builders to complete the work.
But if you do decide to ymestyn your house, then the bit you add on will be called an estyniad as well as the extra time you give the builders.
