MY Fifties favourites, Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men, have made a dream comeback to enthrall the children of the new Millennium.

They're getting more coverage now than the creators could ever have dreamed of. The terracotta twosome are encouraging children to follow in their green-fingered footsteps, and this week holidaying youngsters from throughout the area have been joining in a flobbadobba week of fun at Bents Garden Centre, Leigh.

And if they're getting upto no more mischief than the television puppets while they're off school then that'll do for me.
