Critic criticised over 'fat fingered locals' line
People in South Petherton give their views on a restaurant Holm in the Daily Telegraph.
The piece by critic William Sitwell imagines local people as "old farming types whose fingers are too fat for phones" and "grizzled builders".
He says those taking offence have a "sense of humour failure".
Luke Knight finds some local businesses have put up signs in response to the article and talks to people in the village who are not amused.
