WalesOnline readers have reacted to comments made by Janet Street-Porter criticising Wales. The outspoken TV personality labelled Wales "grey", the language "incomprehensible", the people "gloomy", and the food terrible in a lengthy rant in her weekly column.
Writing in the Daily Mail about plans to rebrand Wales so as to appeal to more tourists, she said: "At the risk of sounding racist (I am half-Welsh), re-branding the place as a jolly land welcoming visitors with open arms is a nigh-impossible task that piles of cash won't change."
Janet, who co-presents ITV's Loose Women, lays out her qualifications for being able to offer up such dismissive views of Wales by explaining her mother was born in north Wales. She added: "Every school holiday until the age of 16 was spent staying with my granny in a small village in north Wales.."
