Geocache Description:

Once upon a time, there were the men of the rainbow. Happy and Merry they were. they all lived in the Same house, Living in harmony. quite A few of them shared the same hobbies and interests. Walking, football and motor sports were some of their favourites.
The residents of the house were: Mr Red, Mr Orange, Mr Yellow, Mr Green, Mr Blue, Mr Indigo and Mr Violet.

One day, Mr Purple, who is a distant older relative of Mr Red and Indigo came to visit. This generated a fair amount of friction in the group as everyone else wanted to watch motor sports.
After a fair amount of argument about what they were going to do, Mr Yellow remembered it was Mr Green's 30th Birthday. With this Mr Blue runs to the cupboard to grab all the celebration balloons and ribbons. They discover the last time all this stuff was used was for Mr Violet's Birthday. He was twelve years younger than Mr Green. Mr Purple started reminiscing on being 30, which was seventy eight years ago, and how things were different back then.
