Iceland apologises for insulting Welsh people amid threats of boycott

Supermarket chain Iceland has sacked a top executive for insulting Welsh people - including called their ancient language gibberish and saying it sounds like bad catarrh . Iceland s corporate affairs boss Keith Hann, 66, was axed from his £102,000-a-year job after shoppers threatened to boycott the High Street chain s Welsh stores in protest. Mr Hann made a stream of anti-Welsh comments - even though the company s HQ is in Wales and it has thousands of Welsh workers among its 30,000 staff. He said Welsh was a dead language that sounds uncannily like someone with bad catarrh clearing his throat. Mr Hann made the comments on a personal blog which recently resurfaced on Twitter.
