HGV crash spills 12,000 litres of paint on M606 motorway - BBC News


It's a good job it wasn't containers of red and blue paint - otherwise motorists would have been marooned.

I heard that the police are just glossing over the incident

Word has it it was actually black and white striped paint, inadvertently causing the UK's largest zebra crossing and bringing traffic to standstill.

A hue and cry over spilt milky looking stuff.

I wonder if it did what it says on the tin. Covers in one coat.

I imagine the investigators will just brush it off as a minor incident.

For which the press will give them a spray.

A tip truck had previously rolled over spilling fine grain silica. Which is just as well because every paint job is best done with a light sand.

I just knew when I first saw the article in the unread topics that it would be spattered with puns before I got here...

You guys are such colourful characters...

Well the driver did say he was going out after work to paint the town,..............red

Dazz is canvassing our 'paint' puns like a true admin.

Did you ever start something and quickly wished that you hadn't - if so - you know how I feel now.....I'm sure the lorry driver didn't intend to make such a splash. He was probably thinking things would turn out all white on the night.
