I have been doing some more research into paint and the effects of petrol on it and have found lots of conflicting info . Some peeps say that it has no effect yet others say that it will soften it and bubble up . I carried out some of my own tests on some samples the other day and found that the paint crazed after leaving petrol on them . I was surprised to see that even 2 pack lacquer reacted . I can't remember it doing that back in the 90's. So yesterday I thought I would see if a chip of paint from my old car that I painted back in the late 70's would react . The paint was Gipfast 60. It was the paint to use back in the days for resprays on cars. I left the chips in some petrol overnight to see what happens . The last time I looked nothing had happened .

Old paint probably contains something that they're not allowed to use now.

I've finished my book. I only have one more to read before riding my library circuit of old telephone boxes and bus shelters to exchange them for different ones.

I thought he came in a high speed milk cart.

The last time I looked at our local take a book, leave a book stall, about all that was there were about 200 Mills and Boons

Pulled by Trigger who pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.

Sheffield !

A bit further; Belfast for a family visit. The airport queue was OK-ish, about an hour estimated to go through security.

What I meant was the queue as far as Sheffield ?

The old paint chips I put in the petrol are still fine this morning .
It is a bit of a warning though if you have had your bike painted. Avoid contact with petrol as it could soften and destroy your paint finish .

I really should book a check up with the dentist but keep putting it off.
