From Roger Tobermory in crisis..... Let's home the ghastly coloured paint is removed from the exterior of the houses before the visit by the PnP delegation...
But the coloured paint was there long before the children's programme Ballymory was set there. I think it was *because* it was such an odd (and oddly painted)...
I think they stopped making Teletubbies around 5 years ago and that's still on every day (so I'm told!) so Tobermory should be OK for a while. Richard...
