The letter was later posted online, attracting plenty of attention, NorthWalesLive reports. One unimpressed onlooker said: “I'm English and lived for a number of years in North Wales and never ever experienced hostility . “The people were lovely.” Another added: “It's over tourism and holiday lets amongst local housing causing the aggression, visitors filling bins and not recycling. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...ow-section.jpg People suspected the note may have been written by a child “Blocking streets with large cars and generally ruining the town's. And don't say we need their money, 90% of the locals pay massive council tax to support tourism and get nothing back.” One more said :”As an Englishman who has lived in beautiful North Wales for the last few years, I find this rather funny if a tad puerile.” Last year a man was stunned when a bottle he threw out to sea as a six-year-old returned to him more than two decades later. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...0_Pwllheli.jpg Both English and Welsh people criticised the letter Alex Melling said he was scrolling through a local community Facebook group when a mention of his old childhood address caught his eye. Alex, who is now 30, said he scrolled back up and then saw his name mentioned in a post that he "just could not quite believe." According to the Manchester Evening News , the post was written by a man called Rex Winter, who claimed he was trying to track down an Alex at that address after his son and daughter had discovered a message in a bottle in a remote bay in Scotland. The post read - 'Help with a Message in a Bottle: "This summer my kids found a message in a bottle on a remote beach in the west of Scotland. It seemed to be old, and the message inside appeared to have been written by a child. "The message inside was from somebody called Alex, (no surname given) who gave an address of 27 Gilbert Street, Hindley.” Alex said: “I will be keeping the bottle forever now with some other keepsakes. I can't quite believe it." |
