The Mr Blobby House: Anyone Remember It?

Elly Glithero got in touch with VB today asking if readers could remember a house painted like Mr Blobby?

Mr BlobbyElly and her familiy are sitting around discussing it and they’re looking for someone to help settle this family dispute.

She said, “Years ago, mid-90’s maybe, somewhere on the Island was a house that was painted like Mr. Blobby (pink with yellow spots), it then got painted over. None of us in our family can remember where it was, but we are arguing whether it was Bembridge, Brading or St.Helens.”

Details as to where it was are a little vague in the Glithero household, but they say, “All we know is that it was on a route from Fishbourne to Whitecliff Bay.”

Anyone can help settle it?

Quick response
Thanks for the responses on VB. There were quite a few on our Facebook page too …
