NEVER has the mediocre town of Newtownards, with it's mediocre entertainment, mediocre shops and mediocre pub locals ever been so inundated with thronging photographers and fun, oh-this-is-new, families. The mediocre carpark up Scrabo Hill was overflowing and the very, very steep road up to the landmark, historical tower was burgeoning under the weight of cars and their nervous drivers with screaming, burning clutches!
