An Ice Cream maker has dropped The Words " Little England beyond Wales" from its packaging after complaints.

Describing it as " a heritage phrase" a spokesman said The Company believed it helped celebrate its " geography and place in The World ".
But it will now be scrapped and replaced with messaging that " More clearly celebrates our Welshness".
Pictures of the logo were put on Social Media , which reads: " Pembrokeshire's own. . Made For You in Little England beyond Wales. "
Steve Thomas said on Twitter: " I certainly won't be buying any of their produce again. "
Philip James Lewis, " I grew up in north Pembrokeshire and was aware from an early age that The South of The County was sometimes referred to as 'Little England beyond Wales'.
" Even as a small Child I remember feeling uncomfortable about it and thinking 'this is wrong'. "

Based in Pembroke Dock , Upton Farm has been supplying frozen goods around Wales for More Than 30 years.
" Being part of a community business, we recognise the importance of understanding and listening to our customers and as our use of 'Little England ' on the packaging of one of our ice creams has unwittingly caused offence to some, we will be removing that reference from any future packaging, " The Company said in a statement.
" We Believed that was a heritage phrase that helped us show pride in being from The Heart of Pembrokeshire and our intent was to celebrate our geography and place in The World .
" That pride will of course remain, but with messaging that More clearly celebrates our Welshness. We Are sorry to those who took offence. "
