Oh says I, it's to spray my front door and metal garden gates, that's alright then.

hmmm. it doesn't make sense....

i'm surprised we're allowed out the house anymore...

Sounds about right!! Ben (001Ben) on here bought thinners for his car last week in Ellesmere Port (so just a few miles from you) and was told similar - i'm sure he'll tell you more if he reads the thread.

Where did you buy your paint in the end?? It was Cunbar in Prenton??

Wish I'd known there was somewhere in the port,I work for nights for Menzies Distribution (the newspaper delivery firm oposite side of motorway to cheshire oaks,) I did offer nigel a hand but problem is I finish at 7am and work a rolling shift of 6 nights on 2 nights off.
no not cumbar they were the ones that said no.
