We have been far too harsh on Greeba. Now we should get behind the place and support the new tourist drive.
Although all the churches have closed down the place is steeped in history, as well as the blood of a hundred valiant sheep. As far away as Crosby they can still remember the smell of mutton from the post ethnic cleansing BBQ.
"Aim for the head", the seargant cried, "and we will have roast lamb for a month of Sundays lads".
Greeba has a material and folk culture going back thousands of years. It has St Patrick's chair (not sure as there was a boundary dispute years ago), it has a river of the same name, of course the famous Bridge and a public telephone. There is the Greeba Plantation previously called the King's Forest by those who are not quite up with the latest nomenclature. There is Greeba Mountain 422 metres above the Irish Sea and the Cronkdhoo campsite; what more could you want in a city?
The folk traditions are alive and well, just last May the whole town was out for the pagan dancing festival.
There is certainly more to Greeba than meets the eye.
