So how many men does it take to paint a bench on the railway station?
Well, it takes five; one to paint, one to watch, one to supervise and one on a step ladder and of course another holding it. True I promise you. Travelling up to London one day last week I came across these five men on the platform all very engrossed in their 'work'. The one on his knees doing the painting seemed unmoved by the others just watching so this was obviously not an unusual occurrence.
The bit which got me the most wasn't the gross overpayment for work done, or the men obviously enjoying their work, it was the fact none of the benches had signs which said 'BEWARE OF WET PAINT'
