AA Gill on Norfolk residents...

Have had a range of posts on the way that people view places...

This story emerged yesterday in the local papers, and related to my old "local" (in as much as I had one) in Snettisham, where I lived for 11 years.
One of the village pubs: the Rose and Crown was visited by critic A.A Gill, and he didn't enjoy the experience very much.
He also had some robust words to say about people from Norfolk, which hasn't gone down well with the village residents.
He referred to Norfolk as "the hernia on the end of England", and Norfolk people as "weird, web-footed, dribbling, six-fingered, sister sh******"

He also called the landscape "flat, fertile damp and dank"

Sun columnist Kelvin Mackenzie also apparently  had a go at another nearby restaurant at Norfolk Lavender, saying that it should be avoided under all circumstances "even starvation"
