- kiuyhjk 16y agoWindscale renamed itself Sellafield after a little tiny, nothing to worry about, nothing to see here, reactor explosion. Plan B, after the next incident, is to rename it Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
- seiji 16y agoHere's some humour help. Looks like your third attempt is almost Welsh. How about: Windscale renamed itself Sellafield after their reactor exploded. I hear they're going to try "Blaidd Drwg" next.
