Video: Norfolk residents hit back at restaurant critic AA Gill
Villagers and business owners have spoken out against restaurant critic AA Gill after he described the county as 'the hernia on the end of England'.
The controversial critic reviewed the Rose and Crown at Snettisham in the Sunday Times at the weekend, but spent most of the time taking pot-shots at Norfolk.
Among his comments were:
• 'If Norfolk didn't exist, we would have to make it up, and then regret it'
• Norfolk is a 'backward place to allocate dark lusts, incest and idiocy'

Gill has a track record of upsetting people. He has previously offended the people of Wales, the Isle of Man – and TV presenter Clare Balding.
