What is Pontefract?
1.
Anything that sounds like it is in Wales, UK, but isn't.
Pontefract is a town half way between manchester and leeds in England. But it's sounds like a word from the Welsh language. Many people think it is in wales.
Therefore anything which sounds like it should be in wales, but isn't should be a 'Pontefract'
Thats a bit of a pontefract.
