A brilliant piece in ‘Brave cop decorated after recovering stolen paint‏’.
In the 1960s, as a student, I spent most vacations with Ilford, later Redbridge, Borough Council, as a ‘Painter’s Labourer’.
The best time was spent at the Ley Street HQ making ‘smudge’, a mixture of all the left-over paint, used for painting unseen parts like gutters.
One year, a former Beal Grammar School Rugger 1st 1V colleague, and I set the ultimate record for the most gallons of ‘smudge’ produced.
Much consisted of the ‘left-over’ tea dregs plus a copious quantity of water!
