Manners Meghan! Porreras deserves a reply
Not a word
No-one could argue that the Meghan-logo debacle hasn´t helped put Porreras on the map and I am sure that the town will benefit from all the publicity. But Porreras didn´t ask to be thrust on to the international stage when Meghan Markle unveiled her new logo which is similar to the town´s historic coat of arms.

MyselfOh blimey! I'll have to brush up on my Catalan. But it's doubtful she's ever heard of Porrera, Porreras, or Porreres, or the coat of arms (and might be confused about which one to "apologise" to or why). But it makes for good old tabloid Meghan bashing.
Morgan WilliamsSorry Morgan but have to disagree. The Catalan plural of Porrera would be Porreres. But the demonyms of Porrera are porrerà (pl porrerans) and porrerana (pl porreranes). No weaselling out for the MDB. 😉
MyselfWell, if she apologises to the town of "Porrera", I have to believe she'd be apologising to more than one person, or otherwise, a bunch of "Porreras". And that's one way the MDB could weasel out of it.
Morgan WilliamsTarragona? That would be Porrera without the ‘s’. But such a silly story. Slow news week I guess.
If she responds to "Porreras", Tarragona may be rather surprised and confused.
Who cares.
