Newspaper's baffling description of one of Wales' most famous attractions

Let’s hope that readers of such drivel stay away.

My goodness. I'm an Australian and I'm appalled by the ignorance. All the technology in the world can't seem to compete with stupidity!

They moved nextdoor to us, uninvited, over a thousand years ago yet they know more about what is going on Mars than what is happening in Cymru.

Dear Londoners, Don't come here..... Cat... If I had my way I would make it an even further distance for them to travel....

The Daily Express should be avoided at all costs. Poor and lazy journalism.

Have some sympathy. Any publication produced by minds so tiny that push racism, colony bashing and their ‘frazzle or freeze’ agenda to terrify the elderly depending on the weather must gauge Portmeirion to be as far away as the rest of us perceive the distance to Australia. They sent out a reporter to find Wales once but its’ intelligence capacity expired and it had to be recovered from Reading services.

Their ignorance really does make you wonder why exactly Wales is so important for London to keep, hasn’t anyone else ever wondered how it can be so important yet no one in London knows anything about Wales? It could easily be on the other side of the moon for all their knowledge. Well, you can’t allow the Britons freedom while you’ve spent a few hundred years pretending to be them!!

Heh heh, remember back when Wembley stadium was being rebuilt & we had the football league final plus the F.A. cup final in Cardiff for a couple of years or so, well the hue & cry from England & London in particular was amusing to behold. " it's a small city that doesn't know how to handle a big occasion " was one complaint, " they don't have the transport infrastructure to cope with the travelling support" was another until quite a few realised we had an airport not too far away as well as trains & a motorway plus a city centre stadium. One of the worst offenders was a chap by the name of Alan Green who was a BBC radio sports commentator at that time covering games the length & breadth of the UK year in & year out, a man who would happily travel to the furthest reaches of darkest eastern Europe to watch England play a meaningless friendly but, would whinge repeatedly on air about the travesty of having to travel to deepest darkest Cardiff twice a year for a couple of years. Thankfully he was put right by many who called into his post match phone in programme who, while acknowledging some hold ups on the M4 ( which they also said was no worse than getting to Wembley on a big match day) the experience of a trip to S. Wales was both a nice change plus for the most part a rewarding experience. Remember also, when Rygbi Cymru opted to use the old Wembley for their 5 (or was it 6) nations games the Welsh rugby public lapped it up as a jolly boys ( & girls outing).

This is Portmeirion, some old fellow's Italianate fantasy, a pleasing trick of the eye... An icon known around the world along with Long Shanks' castles and slate railways... No pier but it does have a concrete boat, a cult TV show and a renown pottery... It stands at the head of the beautiful estuary of the Dywryd flanked by ancient wooded hillsides, stunning geology and silent slate wharves waiting to tell their tale of toil to any curious explorer, you can still taste the gunpowder on the wind when it blows in from the sea beyond the new bridge we all waited so patiently for... I'll do the Artro next and mention broken promises... Isn't the Caernarfon bypass brilliant...
