Chips company Walkers has apologised for the wording on the back of its packets, which it admits could cause offence to farmers because of the current flooding crisis.

Currently chips packets carry the message: “Muddy Good Potatoes! Everyone complains about the weather, but at Walkers we're happy when it rains! Lots of rain produces the best potatoes."
