Portmeirion - the psychedelic side of wales

Just discovered that 'The Littlest Hobo' was Canadian which explains a lot. When that came on of a Saturday morning it was time to go out on your bike.

We went to Wales a few weeks ago, and spent a few days around Conwy before wending our way back to the Midlands and our flight back to the frozen wastes.

Some really nice spots. I always wanted go to Portmeirion, but so far haven’t, though we do have a copious supply of dinner plates, dishes and flower pots branded with the name.

I was never quite sure exactly where Portmeirion is, and thought it might be in South Wales, but it’s classed as North, and actually not too far away from some of the places we passed. I would definitely make the effort to go to those parts again, and make sure that we visit this curiosity.

How many episodes of the Prisoner were there? I enjoyed some that I watched, but never fully understood it. It might be good to see some again and also the denouement, such as it apparently is.

OTOH I could cheat and go straight to an online or AI synopsis to save time.

The Portmeirion pottery factory is just round the corner from me.

I was 11, but the bedtime thing would still have applied... Plus, in those days my mum was in charge of the remote control and that's not something she would've watched.

Never heard of that. On Saturday morning's back then the main focus for me was Tiswas.

The Littlest Hobo was a dog. It was an itinerant and never stayed in the same place long. Just long enough to save the day, then as soon as the grateful humans' backs were turned, the dog would bugger off. So many problems to fix and just one dog. It was pretty smart, but never learned how to delegate.

The series was bad enough, but the accompanying title music ("Maybe Tomorrow") was truly vomit-inducing. They really don't need to bring that back.

Didn't see much of Tiswas. Back then the main focus for me was sleeping off Friday night, in readiness for Saturday night.

Lol... Were you a bit of a boozer back in the day, Steve?

So just the incredible hulk really but with a dog instead of a hulk.

This is an example of AoS's infamous tread drift at its finest!

Pretty close except the dog didn't go green or have any clothes to rip and fall off.

Did that guy who was an angel also go to different places each episode and solve people's problems? Shame I've never met anyone like that I've got a long list of jobs they could do for me.
