    New sign offer for comedy village

    Three signs have been stolen from the village
    A businessman has come to the rescue of a mid Wales village suffering the side-effects of fame.
    Since becoming notorious as the home of Little Britain’s Daffyd – the “only gay in the village” – three signs in Llanddewi-Brefi have been stolen.

    Anthony Roberts from Merthyr Tydfil, who owns a signage firm has approached local councillors in Ceredigion to replace them free of charge.

    Since the TV show aired tourists are said to have flocked to the village.
