The bottle contained an offensive letter and was discovered after it was reportedly washed up on a beach in Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. The letter calls tourists “fat b******s” and tells English holidaymakers to “p*** up”. The letter also refers to the Welsh as “sheep sh******”.
The bottle and its contents were found on Pwllheli beach, NorthWalesLive Reports. After it was posted online, locals speculated that it was written by a teenager or a child.
While the author doesn’t seem to be a fan of people visiting the Llyn, they seem to approve of marine life and end their controversial letter with “hello fishy”.
The letter reads: “Hello stranger! If you’re on holiday here, go home, that’s right, we don’t want you here, annoying English people. Fat bastard. P* ** off.
“But if you’re a sheep, sh*****, hello sexy. And if you’re a fish, hello fishy.”
After the original story was posted online, readers were happy to share their thoughts on the post. Most were quick to dismiss the idea that English tourists were not welcome in Wales, also scoffing at the mysterious sender’s phrasing.
One user, Aicha Koubaa, said: “I am English and have lived in North Wales for several years and have never experienced hostility. The people were nice.”
Another user, Nicola Nicky Royle Leggitt, wrote: “As a visitor I would just find it funny. Humor goes a long way..x”
“This really made me laugh, haha,” wrote Kitty Cece Coxsey.
“Kids who have nothing better to do, I guess,” Norma Chase added.
“Who needs phones when you have bottles to get your word across,” Zoe Atherton joked.
