Just threaten them with the compost heap. They'll ripen before the week is out.

Lack of sun most probably, they'll get there in the end.
I think, lack of sun, Mick.
probably the weather..they need quite a lot of sun.

I'm on the south coast and I have quite a few toms but only a handful with some colour in the greenhouse and still have plenty of flowers too. I think a bit more sun wouldn't go amiss, although too high a temp does slow ripening too. You usually find once some start the rest will follow quite quickly
Mine are still green , lack of hot sun !
