Alfie: That's amazing! Now I've got a curious fact for you: the UK was the first country to use stamps to send letters.

Libby: Really?

Alfie: Yes! The stamp was called the Penny Black, because it was black and it cost one penny. It was the first stamp that you could stick onto an envelope.

Libby: I didn't know that. But I know that the UK was also the first country to have underground trains.

Alfie: I didn't know that.

Libby: Oh! And this is really surprising.

Alfie: What?

Libby: There's a village in Wales with fifty-eight letters in its name!

Alfie: No way! What's it called?

Libby: I have no idea! Let's find out online!
