I have to ask.... why ???
I painted mine 25+ years ago.
Car goes in every night.
I am about to re-paint the tracks where the tyres go as that section is well worn.

I like it looking prestine, only takes me and hour or less and looks nice and bright when finished. I only do the walls once a year and ceiling every second year so I am not to over the top.

I see we are on confession time. Mrs P and I lived together for a year or so before getting wed........a lot of people in our circle did.
After leaving York we went backpacking in the States. This was at a time when Brits were still a novelty. We rocked up at Gatwick to get the Laker flight to New York, discovered it was only another £10 to fly to LA. Went there instead and called our NY friends to say we might be a bit late.
I digress. Back from NY a couple of months later we went to live in Sparkbrook. Contrast?
Decided to get married. Met the priest who asked for our addresses. We have the same:
"You mean you live together?"
"Yes"
"In the biblical sense?" - I kid you not!
Save yourself etc. etc......bit late really!
Anyway got over that hurdle. A bit later in the chat Mrs P let on she had a bit of trouble with the concept of immaculate conception and virgin birth. The priest screwed the top back on his pen.......now we are in trouble ran through my mind.........
So we had to go to classes. Both raised Catholics and we have to go to classes. Mrs P undertook to behave and have her views changed!!!! 😄
On the morning of our wedding the priest knocked on the front door to check we were coming.
Sparkbrook. 80s. Bobby Sands. Irish priest. Geeeez Mrs P!!!!

Just remembered this one. In California we tried to get to a certain National Park. No one knew where it was. Bizarre. This place is world famous.
"Can you tell us how to get to Yos eh mite?"
Shaking heads. Eventually we met a guy who said;
"You mean Yoh sem ee tee"

87, Durham Road. It was rough. If Mrs P was on a late shift I had to meet her at the bus stop to walk her home.

The saddest part on my marriage and I have never told anybody this, is sitting at work while everybody has gone home, because I was too scared as to find out what mood she was in.

I remember in Belgium although we were married we had trouble at some camp sites and got the third degree and had to provide proof we were in fact married before they would let us in. We had a joint visitor passport which was cheap at that time but even that did not really convince them. On the cargo boat from Leith they assumed we were newly weds tho' we had been married a couple of years. All a bit embarrasing.I see we are on confession time.
