This (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/44733/) is now just called Y Meirion. I would recommend just naming it Meirion so it doesn't appear under Y.

Although far from being a Welsh person (or even having any more than the most superficial knowledge of the language), I'm not sure I fully agree with you here. Perhaps the answer is for Dave to change things so that "Y" is treated in the same way as "The"? Ditto, perhaps, for the 'Olde English' "Ye"?

I'm sure you're right, thinking long term. But I'm not sure how far up anyone's to do list this sort of request is likely to get. Pubs called "Ye Olde Whatever" have been getting my goat for some time, because coming across a pub which in real life is called The Golden Lion, but which is unlisted on Pubs Galore, and then finding it (eventually) under Ye Olde Golden Lion, is intensely frustrating.

Or, as my meditation trainer put it to me last week, it's something I must learn to greet with patient acceptance.

Grrr.

Try bananas - the potassium is good for calming things (or not), avoiding goats (or not), or working out how new the 'Olde Golden Lion's are (or not) - or possibly potatoes (or not), avocados (or not)... grrr indeed (or not)!

I'll just stick with grrr.

I wish I'd seen this as it should really include Yr which is used when the next word begins with a vowel. As I can't think of any examples it probably doesn't matter.
I did add Y Manod (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/85820/) in Blaenau Ffestiniog as Manod, Y so that would need changing. I also think it should have Manod as an associated area as it's right on the border of the two. I've made the change.

Heh heh! I've changed it to Y Manod. If that doesn't get Dave to stir his stumps, nothing will.

Plenty of examples with Yr - try doing a search like this: https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/search.php?search=Yr I also enjoyed reading (again) your discussion of the intricacies of Welsh in your review of The Old Black Lion (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/61975) in Aberystwyth.

Patient acceptance...

Or do you remember this from Seinfeld: Serenity Now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW_s6EqOxqY)!

Hoochie mama!

I'd noticed that Dave had already made the change so I guess it was something easily done. Your search only highlights four pubs with Yr as the second word which doesn't matter. I hope that measn there aren't any with the first word being Yr.
Re the Black Lion it was down to the late Rhys Jones who refused to accept my suggestion that Lew was incorrect. Obviously he didn't explain why which is how I ended up asking the local student barman at the Ty Mawr in Llanbedr.

As for all this stuff about bananas it's just sad fake news as just the thought of eating them sends me into an incandescent rage.

Your computer must be doing the search slightly differently. I got Yr Hen Lew Du (as discussed), Yr Hen Orsaf (JD Wetherspoon), Yr Hen Dderwen (JD Wetherspoon), Yr Ieuan Ap Iago (JD Wetherspoon), Yr Afr (The Goat) and Yr Hen Vic.
