So - this morning's news. The Brecon Beacons are going to be renamed because of the "Beacons" being an association with burning, which is not eco friendly . . .
Snowdon/Snowdonia has already been renamed - now to be known as Y Wyddfa and Eyriri after 5,000 people signed a petition calling for a change. Yes, this is Wales and it should be named in Welsh and promoting the Welsh language. Incomers will struggle to pronounce either though!
But the renaming of the Brecon Beacons for "eco" reasons - this sort of thing makes me cross - FFS, idiots bending over backwards to be part of Wokery and blardy tomfoolery. Elsewhere they are going all out to destroy or rewrite our history totally. Rename in Welsh to promote the language not for any other feeble reasons.

"Catherine Mealing-Jones, the chief executive of Brecon Beacons National Park, said: "We're an environmental organization. We're trying to cut carbon and push to net zero. So, having a carbon burning beacon just isn't a good look.
We've had some awful wildfires over the last few years (Yes dear, some of it's called arson), so anything that promotes that idea that fire in the landscape is a good thing (it doesn't, surely?) made us feel that it probably wasn't the look we're going for."
"The name change is in "direct response to the climate and biodiversity emergency", and is part of a broader new vision for the park that includes onshore wind turbines and reduced sheep numbers. The park aims to reach net zero in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035."
Here is a link to the article in the Telegraph newspaper. The new name is Bannau Brecheiniog, which is Welsh for (chuckles) Brecon Beacons!!! Not April 1st is it?
