I've watched the last series of it, it's a good program. Even if they just get a lick of paint put on Main Street they'll have achieved a lot.

The Princess Bride

Only watched one episode of series before-but was impressed.
It's amazing the enthusiasm that can be generated in an area when someone famous steps in.
When I was younger I used to think Port was a dead town and avoided it like plague,but having worked there and met some really nice people from there, I think this will be great for all- good for community spirit also.

I was there today on business and was quite impressed with the local traders (I presume) chipping in to make the 1st hour's parking free. As a result, I spent yoyos.
