typical..

when they painted the severn bridge a while back i think they got the colour spot on.

surrounding area needs to be considered too.

The women sound just like my ex-missus when I was decorating... that's why she is my ex....  :y :y :y ;D ;D ;

When she told me she wanted a divorce for her birthday, I never realized it would cost that much, it's and expensive day out.  ::) ::) ::)

Guess what her new husband is a painter and decorator, you couldn't make it up.  :o :o :o :D :D :D

Having said that, my divorce was totally amicable, her solicitor hated me as when ever there was a problem, my ex-wife said I will call him and sort it out and all she saw was ££££££££££££ disappearing. She was just like the adverts, call scums are us, we will seamlessly sort all of your legal problems at prices even you can't afford.  :o :o :o ;D ;D ; :D

Me and my ex are now the very best of friends and when I see her hen pecking her husband

The rail bridge is always referred to as The Forth Bridge. The other bridge is the Forth Road Bridge.  :y :y

I'm loving the rather excellent customer service attitude by the rail company :y Although I whole heartedly agree with him :)

I would like to know if the paint they used is available to the general public it seems it has a 25 year guarantee that could be some very handy stuff :y
